Total sense

75 cents a mile is the actual cost of driving a car.
Good thing the standard payout is $0.655/mi.
-
Wow you could almost cook your own meals at home for that. But uh-oh, it would be inconvenient.
-
Look at that money on the table! Of course we should privatize the USPS!
(/s of course)
-
there's nothing wrong with it but it's a luxury service so you shouldn't complain about it being expensive

And you really think so many people are on these medications that they make up a serious percentage of the market share?
How do all those people get to work on their medication?
I'll take "this dumbfuck has never had to use a prescription in their life" for $500, Alex.
Oh look it's the daily double!
I'll take "medications can have various strengths of side effects, especially in the first few hours of taking them, and thus many need to be taken at home on a strict schedule, often before or with a meal, immediately when waking up, going to sleep... and it is very common for drugs to say not to operate a vehicle or machinery after taking and/or until you know how your body reacts"
They should really shorten that category, phew

Lots. I am one of them. Several members of my family also take meds that can impair driving.
Wtf does taking medication have to do with being drunk?
Do your own research before you make a bigger idiot out of yourself. It's not the job of others to educate you.

You pay 30usd for the food delivery? In the UK it usually is few quid.
-
I do, all the time.
My point was that most people are able to procure their own food without paying exorbitant fees for it; in their case, I consider it lazy and wasteful. That’s also my opinion, and people are free to apply their own judgement.
-
Yeah, but the DUI also buys you 3 meals a day for 6 months or so.
-
I think that if food delivery was treated how my last postal package was treated, then all food would be arriving as a soup, or maybe as a goulash.
-
Pull your shit together man
-
There's zero indication that OP is ordering delivery often, so I'm not sure why you have jumped to that conclusion?
Besides, whether or not ordering delivery often depends on what you're ordering and on your disposable income. McDonald's is far from the only option, plenty of real restaurants offer delivery too these days. If you can afford it, you can probably eat a fairly healthy diet even if you never cook. Not for me, in no small part because I usually enjoy cooking, but I'm not gonna judge people who don't. Doesn't affect me, I'm not gonna go out of my way to be annoyed.

I'm good, just defending others

one of the food delivery service I used tried to offer this, but that is extremely limited in availability and does not cover my address so I never get to use it.

Things are fucked from the top down. It's by design, It’s a long listen but worth checking out How Conservatism Won by Robert Evans. He lays out in a clear concise way “how a consortium of rich failsons got together to fund a network of right wing think tanks and shift American culture in a fun new direction. (note: it was not actually fun at all).” They’ve been very successful and those think tanks are now pipelines used to funnel ideological purists into powerful positions like our current Supreme Court.
It's not even a conspiracy, it's all easily verifiable. These people do not share our American values. They do not value freedoms (speech, press, religion, etc) the same way that many of us do. They want a return to the gilded age with them as the robber barons and landed gentry and everyone else as a permanent, toiling underclass.

It was a completely reasonable take and everyone understood what you meant.
Only on lemmy would someone try to paint an exploitative middleman like UberEats as a noble service for those unable to journey to the store.
There are actually services that do that and they don't charge a 30% markup. That actually seems even more exploitative and you'd think the other commenter would be enraged at Uber.
-
I honesty don’t understand how they are still a service. Who pays for that?
