Biking in Brooklyn is far more efficient than driving.

Doing this sort of thing at scale would only be efficient if you were using slave labor or something close to it.

If Etsy lets their employees take a bike-break for a good cause, fine. But I feel much better about giving my compost to a unionized garbageman with a big truck than some hypothetical coolie on a bike.

As long as they aren't engineering interns, my sister cleared 30K in a summer in SV during her internship. I was floored because I felt lucky to even get an internship 10 years ago.
