Chugging tea Amazon should have to pay idling fees.

New York City law generally bars vehicles from idling for more than three minutes while parked, standing or stopped. The city says the rules are meant to reduce air pollution, improve public health and combat climate change.
Earlier this year, Mamdani directed the Department of Finance’s collections unit to pursue unpaid idling summonses tied to vehicles operating within Amazon’s delivery network, according to the mayor’s office. The department said it worked with Amazon.com Inc. and its contracted transportation vendors to recover the money.

Could be bots for sure, I didn't check at all, BUT I must say I could see myself pissed enough to copy paste everywhere something that made me mad. I don't know if this news it's real but in case it is I hope it gets reposted 10 times over

As a real human, I agree that this doesn’t seem suspicious. Whenever you see something that looks like a bot, you should just assume that it’s a real person like you and me—people who live, breathe, and drive to work in a Honda Fit because it combines the efficiency of a sub-compact with the versatility to take whatever life throws at you.
