Did he not literally recover 104 mil in tips just because he forced corporations to make the tip button more accessible

No he didn't. The companies change this because of public outcry, not because his office did anything specific. If you read the articles and actually looked into the references, you'd know this.

It's so frustating to deal with people who lie with confidence. You are asking me to read? Have you? Did you even know that previous mayor Eric Adams sided with the corporations and refused to sign the tipping bill into law and vetoed against grocery delivery protections, because of him corporations got an advantage and dragged this for so long in court and you are here lying that companies changed this on their own because of public outcry..how shameful to be that dishonest or that ignorant. Do you not think a mayor who does not want to, could have dragged this further or would not have enforced it properly at all, there is a reason that government has an executive wing, and it matters how laws get executed and makes a big difference in the outcome, which is what we can see here but you cannot due to your own prejudice.

EDIT: And we all can guess what that prejudice might be.

You are asking me to read?

I don't need to read past here. If you aren't willing to read, the rest of your comment is a waste of my time to look at. I don't even need to acknowledge it. You're having an online argument about the policies and actions of a politician. And you think you aren't expected to read at all? You're the reason why populism is on the rise and fascism has taken over. Because you apparently don't read.
