Now instead of restaurants and grocers delivering food, you get to pay extra for someone else to do it. Then those workers lose their job and go work for Uber, who will pay them less.
Is Uber exempt from the wage laws? I assumed PizzaHut would simply be outsourcing the cost to Uber, creating a surcharge for their food that doesn’t appear on their advertised price. They get to tell their investors that they cut costs without actually changing their business model.
Capitalist efficiency is putting as many businesses in between you and what you want/need as possible.
More businesses means more growth! More growth means more investment! More investment means more profits! No, I won’t explain how or why. This is Econ 101, dummy. Do your own homework.
There was a big vote about it in California in 2020: whether or not app-based jobs counted as employees and had to be given minimum wage protections. Uber spent record amounts of money on it and the hogs in Southern California need their treats so it went down in flames.
Also those ads Uber spent all that money on did their best to completely flip the issue around and portrayed the minimum wage laws as some kind of attack on the gig workers. After the proposition passed there were a bunch of I-regret-my-vote stories like after Brexit.
Maybe - if the minimum wage law in question only applies to restaurant employees, or employees generally, as Uber eats drivers are independent contractors, not employees.

Truly ghoulish
