That’s got to be the most stupid thing a human can do, but at the end of the day, there is a reason why they are uber drivers

  1. While it might increase the payout for the drivers, it also increases the price for the one ordering food eventually.
  2. if 5 people are doing this, person number 6 will take the job, smirk, and earn money while all the others don’t earn anything at all.
  3. things like these are most likely illegal, as what they are forming is a cartel. They are individual contracors, individual legal entities. If they make such deals to increase their price, they will not only all get banned from Uber, they also face charges with fines.

All of that, so that they get €15.63 instead of €15.61

    Then you've probably never heard CEOs speak. You should broaden your worldview, maybe get a job.

    1. then the rider doesn't get lowballed, the corporation doesn't make a profit, and the customer has to make their own food. Win win for everyone.

    2. Most likely, these 5 will beat the shit out of the sixth one, and deservedly so. If not right there and then, then sooner or later. Class consciousness will naturally form over time. Its inevitable lol

    3. eh, who cares about laws made to protect corporations? If every rider starts doing it, uber goes out of business Or they can take a lower profit and continue to be in business. Or best of all, people will just start destroying their assets. What are they gonna do once their stock starts tanking?

    I think your naivety stems from not having ever worked a real day. Someone who has a real job doesn't really talk like you. Hell, even the most batshit CEOs aren't as overtly anti-worker as you lmao.

    If you're a teenager, reality will hit you like a truck. If you're an adult, I pity you and hope you figure your life out.

    Seems like you've got a low bar for stupidity.

    Better to have a low bar for stupidity than having a low bar for intelligence.

    Tell me you are from the US without telling me you are from the US. However, I am not into this kind of talk. Enjoy finding a more suitable playmate.

    I was not aware that you could downvote profiles. I was just checking your recent comment history and disagree with how you treat others. That’s what the voting system is here for. But apparently, this does not stop you. Apparently, you need to be properly moderated, so that other people feel more safe.

    The answers to this comment are cringe. Like everybody is insulting you and I have no idea of what their arguments are.

    Like, i hate how you represent uber drivers. No they are not that dumb, and it's not because they are dumb that they are uber driver. It has a lot more to do with how the market for peopme with low education is scarse of job. But don't equate education with intelligence.

    Now for the rest of your arguments, I'm hoping someone will explain the problem with your reasonning. But alas I think hate only calls hate.

    I'm wondering if you removed your intro sentence maybe peoppe would have actual debate?

    I read the 3 arguments and fail to see how they argue for it being stupid?

    Yes, the price will increase, yes, some scab might accept the low bid, yes, it might in breach of their bullshit contracts.

    It's true. All of it. And it's still the right thing to do, because these are not arguments for not doing it. The 3 points only describe what the drivers are doing. It does not explain why they shouldn't do it.
