Surge pricing for Uber and Lyft is partially passed along to the driver and used as an incentive to get more drivers on the road. Drivers get a special notification on their screen that rides are worth more than usual, which might cause them to start driving if they’re not already on the road, which decreases the wait times for riders.
The equivalent for Wendy’s would be if they also increased employee salaries during that time to encourage more workers to come in and make burgers faster, not just to gouge the customer.
Though even when surge pricing was active I made shit money when I was side hustling Uber and Lyft.
The concept of surge pricing for something that was supposed to be a side job for drivers makes sense. During a blizzard, if driving Uber is my side hustle, there’s no way I’m getting in the car to pick up some schmuck after he drank too much at Applebee’s. But if I can charge more for that ride, I will start to consider it.
But then the “gig” job became people’s full time job and everything, as it must, went to shit.
But for Wendy’s? The meat is there. The employee is there. Everything is already there, ready and waiting to make burgers. So surge pricing isn’t correcting a supply/demand imbalance - it’s just on-demand price gouging.
They do hate when Uber does it, but they already let the taxi companies with regulations die, so they don’t have a choice if they want that type of service.
Can wait till they secede from the union so we don’t have to pay for this shit. Lazy broke none state tax paying bastards need to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps.
The state shouldn’t do it, but if they are, they should be made to do it dirty and feel the consequences. Making an execution clean and easy is just find encourage lawmakers to put more people to death.
The governor should be forced to carry out the execution himself, give him incentive to pardon
My GP claims to be trying to agitate her peers at conferences, focusing on the ones with chronic issues. She tells them, if they don’t advocate for patients, no-one will.
Lawyers don’t count, because by the time they enter the scene, the damage is done.
Oh Milei, I had such hopes for you. The only place that Libertarian-ism has in the “Culture Wars” is ensuring that all citizens have equality under the law.
Although to be fair a LOT of Spanish speakers don’t like the changes being forced into their language to meet a seemingly undefined “gender inclusive” standard.
Nobody is forcing anything anywhere here. It’s just some people that like to use gender neutral stuff, with some made up rules (as all languages are, made up stuff). If this picks up culturally, it will just get added to the massive amount of made up stuff Argentina’s Spanish had already. Supposedly he is defending the purity of language, while we already have a pretty forked version of it.
Also, you had high hopes for the dude whose political statement was waving a chainsaw around, lol you are lame.
If Obama's handling of Guantanamo not closing and the drone striking of Somalia and Yemen didn't stop his second term.
I can't see how Gaza's situation will affect Biden's.
Truth is, most of your population doesn't even pay attention to the details of news, unless it's something to do with Kardashian's or Taylor Swift.
There is a significant Muslim population in Michigan that is paying attention. Michigan is a swing state, if Biden loses it he probably loses the election.
That's centrist copium really. This shit is making the news everywhere and it's turning young voters against him. There are 10 years' worth of voters today who weren't eligible 10 years ago and most of them (especially if you only count democrats) are not happy about what's going on. This is to say nothing of the Muslim voters who are destroying Biden's chances in multiple swing states.
