This is fake, right?

EDIT

The more you look at it the more obvious it becomes that it's fake.

    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.

    Yeah, I assume it's not common to developing nations. Sorry if I didn't communicate that well. How did you interpret it?

    0.3 what? meters? km? AU? Parsecs?

    It's by the Ohio river, freedom units are implied.

    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 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.

    "Send flowers" $29.99 and all the dasher gets is the flower emoji 🤣 💐

    I think this might be more of an “are you really gonna do that for some ‘za” notification.

    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.

  • 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
