This is fake, right?
EDIT
The more you look at it the more obvious it becomes that it's fake.

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc.

For now. If you could explain one gig service to the people who fought for labor rights circa 1900, they'd be astonished we let it happen again.
You do know this is a us problem right (as in the geoup of first world countries, not that third world countries…)?
Yeah, I assume it's not common to developing nations. Sorry if I didn't communicate that well. How did you interpret it?
Nononono, I am just sure someone would have made the pointless distinction
Oh, I get it now. Yeah, whataboutism has been running rampant even more than usual lately.
0.3 what? meters? km? AU? Parsecs?
It's by the Ohio river, freedom units are implied.
Ah 0.3 bald eagles it is.
But what freedom unit?
If it's 0.3 miles, wouldn't it be replaced with some other unit? So, it's 0.3 of the smaller unit (whatever that is), or miles? Or do people not convert small values when working in freedom units?
0.3 miles is 2.5 stonethrows, 3 thighbones, 87 feet, and 2 thumbs (or 1.5 toes)
0.3 distance. Can't you read?
It's like those math problems.
"Hiro drives his deliveries at an average rate of 40 distance per hour. Given a neighborhood with side lengths of 1 distance what is the total travel time for your ubereats driver after he crashes his e scooter 0.3 distance from your house and has to hoof it the rest of the way?"
Assume he's carrying the 30 watermelons you ordered and is not subject to wind resistance.
Are those European or African watermelons?
I just assumed we were going with a spherical pizza delivery driver in a vacuum as usual.
It gets worse. He has angular momentum, but he's not spinning.
I think this might be more of an “are you really gonna do that for some ‘za” notification.
Damn, imagine getting berated by some Karen for failing to deliver their pizza while getting loaded in an ambulance.
I think the big, giant, amoral, corporation that's misclassifying employees as contractors is more to blame, but yeah, that would be the icing on the dystopia cake.
I'd say that's also on lawmakers, because contractors should also be subject to worker protections in the same way as "standard issue" workers are.
Agreed, but historically that conversation ends in something like, "But that would limit their freedom to negotiate their contract!" which is disingenuous because dashers aren't negotiating rates with doordash. They'd have to be organized to do that. Reelection requires funding and large companies contribute a lot more to campaign funds than individuals. That's one of the reasons unions are so important. As you can imagine, the instant unions form on a large scale, lawmakers start dusting off antitrust laws at the behest of their funders.
I ordered DoorDash in Vegas a couple of years ago, and dude got pulled over by the cops in the parking lot of my hotel before he was able to deliver lol
I was at a game night where the delivery driver for one of my friend's orders had to call and say he wasn't going to name it because of an accident
