An interesting take: the government is proposing minimum wage standards for gig workers. The paper went with ‘Now you might have to pay up to $15 to get fast food delivered’.

If you use Uber Eats or their equivalents you deserve to pay through the teeth. They have been fucking restaurants and their drivers/riders for years, only right they now fuck the customers.
Plenty of food options delivered already using their own staff who, for the most part, were covered under existing labour laws. You honestly need cold McDonalds delivered to your house on a rainy night by a guy on a pushbike who is getting paid fuck all?
If you support these companies it means supporting their abhorrent labour practices, in which case I hope you tear up your own employment contract and ask your boss to cut your wages and move your desk outside. We didn’t get where we are today by being individualistic little shits, it was workers united in Unions that won us the rights we enjoy, and with those rights comes the responsibility not to sit and watch other workers get fucked but rather rather standup and support them.
