I wonder what they think of Trump and musk discussing firing anyone who's a union member

And customers are called guests

Quality of Life issues mean different things to different people. Republicans prey on voter fears.

We pay more tax for a gallon of gas for our cars than private jet owners pay for a gallon of gas for their planes.

What you're saying is true, but are they oblivious to the 4 years we had of the Insulter-in-Chief. Honestly, Republican politicians have just become hypocrites.

@flippy66 at least they're still in business. What's going to happen to Fiskar owners? Imagine shelling out 60k plus taxes only to find out a year later that your car will be completely useless ... and many will still have a payment due

 @bobbyfartz5591 The company who makes his suits sponsor him. If you'll notice, he's dressed casually in his shorts.

In most states a doctor cannot order/prescribe treatment or prescriptions unless they've had a face-to-face with the patient. However, insurance companies can prescribe treatments to patients they've never seen.

 @Toksyuryel nope. That "all citizens must have health insurance" was rescinded 5 years ago.. There are no financial repercussions for not having insurance.

@Gilvids Your reply to my comment doesn't even make any sense, but for the record, I also wasn't the drunk driver who made me a widow

@LashknifeTalon I had that happen with UE. Right restaurant but wrong order. The only reason I received a refund was by sending them a photo of the restaurant's receipt stapled to the bag with someone else's name on it. I know that Stephanie, the customer who likely received my order, was pissed because she ordered two enormous bags of Olive Garden, including desserts, and all she received was a Fettuccine Alfredo.

@butwhytharum Well, I can only speak from personal experience, but I used UE, DD and occasionally GH for every meal for 4 straight months after a surgery. I was not being too lazy to go and pick it up myself. I also know several elderly people that either don't drive or don't drive at night that order delivery. People who own and drive cars still have times where cars are being repaired. Parents don't always want to load up their children just to drive to get takeout. Speaking of children, it sounds like you might have some homework to do
7
@Epiphonech I think most, if not all, are purposely worded to be confusing or not plainly written for most average consumers to understand. Even if a consumer has a question about a particular passage, most customer service reps don't understand the question or don't really understand how to properly answer it. You shouldn't have to hire an attorney to read your printer purchase manual.

 @Pensandoci9 Name an example of something that costs 15/mo vs thousands
6
 @chenanigans So, you think it's easier for a single parent to load up and unload their children into the car twice just to pick up a takeout order? Probably not
6
@Messiah_Black The restaurants set those prices and up charge them because DD and UE take up to a 30% cut of the order total. Restaurants counteract part of this by making the prices higher online.
6
That's like 5-6 new pieces each month.

@IonorRea But Musk has a long history of over promising and under delivering. That won't matter now that he's cozied up to the GOP and MAGA crowd in DC. Musk was the reason I wanted a Tesla. Now, he's the reason I don't

 @BoleDaPole Why do you think it's automatically the women who must cook?

 @SpaceRaptorJesusJedi Years ago, my wardrobe was over 75% Ralph Lauren (not the Polo line), and the quality of their clothing has steadily gone down.

 @JWFas Most states allow recordings as long as one person involved is aware. In this case, it'd be the salesman.

The small print says they take administrative and insurance and operating costs off the total and THEN they give drivers the 70% of what's left. There is no formula available from Uber or Lyft to determine the off-the-top costs. They simply say it varies by ride based upon everything from city to time of day to length of ride. Additionally, if you lease a car through Hertz from Uber or Lyft, does drivers will receive offers for rides that are 17 to 25% less for identical rides vs drivers using their own vehicles.

 @julietfischer5056 I don't see, but I'd imagine that you can buy a dress for far less than the material and pattern to sew it yourself.

@MFWb00bi3s Well, to be fair, men's styles aren't dependent upon fashion fads like female clothing usually is. Additionally, you're referencing socks and underwear... Hardly, the best barometer

 @Steve-Richter states are not going to deny new residents to their state. That's a lot of revenue

We currently pay more tax on a gallon of gas/fuel for our cars (83¢-$2+/gal) than private jet owners pay in tax for a gallon of jet fuel (22¢/gal). Commercial airliners pay more in gas tax than private jets. The reason: The people with the privatw jeys own many of the politicians making the laws, and in many instances, the politicians are the jet owners/users. It's the same reason we don't have tougher gun laws. The NRA and gun manufacturers have filled the campaign coffers of republicans making rhe laws (oe blocking the laws Democrays try to pass). If you want gun control laws reformed, including bringing nack a ban on assault rifles and you believe every woman should have access to a safe abortion when needed, register to vote next november!

The same inhaler the sold in France for $7 was jacked up to $500. The head of the ftc sued and now it's capped at 35

 @junyaiwase I know that people who have claimed they haven't received their orders at all, are often required to give a PIN to the driver before the driver can hand over their food.

If you cannot afford all organic veggies, at least try to buy organic root vegetables like potatoes, onions, garlic, etc because they have higher concentrations of pesticides.

 @drewmorrison That's because that "elastic" in the material is made from plastics and plastics break down each time it's in the washer, dryer and each wearing

@yamerojones I think you've misread my comment. I think if you're going to use these services for whatever reason, you should expect to pay a premium for them. Getting your dinner from a restaurant period is going to cost more than making the meal yourself. Why wouldn't it cost more to have it delivered to you vs you driving to pick it up

I dont know a single song by Taylor Swift, but when I found out sge gave $55 MILLION in bonuses to her employees and those on hwr tour, likw truck druvers and roadies, with most getting ovwr $100,000 in a bonus, i have a newfound respect for her.

 @matthightower1570 You obviously don't understand the economics that go along with immigration policies.

@milesmungo Yes, but not at 18,071 times the average employee makes, especially when all he actually does is PR. Isn't he being sued right now for NOT actually working at Tesla because he's spending all of his time tweeting and firing at Twitter? That doesn't sound like the best CEO for a company to have.

Same with Starling in Ukraine. He didn't do it out of the goodness of his heart. He's charging the US for it.

 @davepumphernickel9568 and now that there are loads of taxes being generated from it, what's being done with that money?

@User-54631 The problem is that states have passed laws that make it virtually impossible for a newcomer unless you have an enormous financial backing and can purchase an established farm or lab. Look at what Florida requires -- must have had a nursery for 30 or more years, must give the state a 5 million dollar bond, and those are just 2 of the list of requirements to get into the marijuana biz in one state.

@scotcharron1679 Seriously? What did he do to change things during his 4 years? The only thing he got passed was a tax cut that helped the very, very wealthy. Now. He wants to give them more tax cuts and to pay for it, people like you and me will have to pay for it through 20% higher costs on virtually everything we buy through tarifs AND by severely cutting social security Medicare and Medicaid. A 20% tariff on goods imported from China is not paid by China. If Walmart imports 1000 dollars of goods from China, it is Walmart that pays the US govt the 20% ($200) on those goods.Walmart pays China 1,000 and then pays the US govt tve 200. Guess what. Walmart is going to raise the prices to cover the extra 20%. Even things that made and assembled in the US with parts they source from China is going to have to raise their prices to cover the 20%. Even oil rigs use Chinese made parts . Tariffs affect the middle class more than anyone else and cause economic downturns and recessions. That's why countries avoid them at all costs

 @Ehibika It's also cheaper to eat processed foods.

@HUEHUEUHEPony Are you under the assumption that Americans are welcome to move to any country they like? You do realize that other countries have immigration laws, regulations and procedures, right? Surely, you don't think the US is the only country that has an immigration process in order for an immigrant to legally work in the US, right?

Most people don't start accumulating wealth until they purchase a home. Their wages go up over time but their mortgage stays relatively the same. That said, it may not be that way in states prone to natural disasters with climate change..

 @hmk6980 It's still bloody expensive!

@RolagLondevert2563 Well, I'd rather it be a percentage of what I order vs me paying a higher amount and subsidizing customers who have large families and order more food. Waffle House has been adding 10% to the total for takeout orders vs dine-in orders since at least the 1990s. How is tipping a server based upon the total bill any difference ? How else could it be done in a standardized way for delivery? If it was a set fee, everyone ordering one or two meals would be paying the same as someone ordering 10-12 meals. The delivery charge should be a based on mileage for delivery orders
1
@drzoidberg9589 Now, I agree with that sentiment. Additionally, people shouldn't be able to order from a restaurant that's an hour+ drive and complain their food is cold or ice cream melted when they get it. Pizza delivery from places like Papa John's and Domino's will only deliver to areas within a particular distance. I just don't understand why some people think it shouldn't cost more to have an order delivered to their front door vs picking it up themselves.
1
@skylerlightning4620 the GOP tries to put middle people against the working poor, usually highlighting welfare programs and this detracts everyone from realizing that the biggest welfare recipients are billionaires. In just the last few years, Elon musk has received 100+ billion in subsidies from the US gov't ... And still HE rarely pays taxes. Same with bezos
1
@brandonp5019 There are a variety of reasons people use food delivery. I'd rather the drunk/high guy wanting a pizza order delivery vs driving to get it because you think he's lazy. I have used food delivery out of laziness a few times myself, but I also used it 5-6 out of every 7 days for 4 straight months after surgeries for fractured vertebrae. It was a godsend to not to have to ask or rely on loved ones who were already assisting me with other things like doc appts, pharmacy runs, etc. I also used a Wag walker to trade my dog on daily walks. It's none of our business how people choose to spend their money. . BTW, have you NEVER ordered food for delivery?

@tigerwoods373 When I sign up for free subsc8, I use the number of a cancelled debit card that is still before the expiration date. Before that, I used a visa gift card, but now they can tell it's not an actual charge card.

Good analogy

@Steve-Richter Democrats don't want open borders, either. I don't understand why you think that. Democrats agreed to every demand the GOP had in the immigration reform bill in the Senate. There is nothing in it that Democrats usually want in a compromise, like Dreamers, DACA, etc. All Democrats got that they wanted had to do with security at the border -- like surveillance equipment that can detect fentanyl/drugs better. Why did Mike Johnson say, even before he saw the bill, say it was "Dead on arrival"? Apparently, there isn't as much of a crisis at the border and not an invasion if Johnson wants to wait AT LEAST 15-18 months for an immigration reform bill.

 @TwisterTornado Actually, he's right about corporations being behind women going to work to Bring home the bacon and fry it up in the pan. However, men can and do cook

@Mr.H333 It's NOT communism. You are aware that the US is the ONLY country that doesn't provide healthcare to every resident, right? Having 20-26% of its citizens being uninsured because they cannot afford it is definitely NOT something a country can brag about...
1
 @dominicfucinari1942 Neoliberalism? Are you sure about that?
1
@walterwang2011 and, if you're uninsured, you pay the full cost of services and procedures not the much lower rate that insurance companies have negotiated with providers, hospitals, etc. If someone has X insurance and has a surgery, the prover pays an amount much lower for that surgery than someone who pays for it out-of-pocket.
1
@walterwang2011 "Most uninsured people choose to be so," and where did this bit of DATA originate or are you just pulling "facts" out of your A-hole?

@maescreativespace444 Doordash settled a class action suit because they were caught using part of higher tipping customer tips as base pay. If a customer left $15.00, DD would tell the Dasher that the base pay was 4.50 and the tip was 10.50.

 @elcidcampeador9629 I've used several US private insurances healthcare and the UK's NHS... I'll take the NHS any day. I take it you have no experience outside of the US, right?

Life in the US was better financially for the middle class in the 1950s and 60s. Then, we had the ultra wealthy taking all of the profits and even scooping up the crumbs from the workers

Musk is the reason I have changed my mind about buying a Tesla. Seriously.

@russellseilhamer4552 You make think it's unnecessary, but in 2023, 35% of restaurant sales were for delivery/takeout orders. Oh, and capitalism has nothing to do with middlemen.

@Jakey4000 Initially, restaurants, esp fast food and chains, weren't used to high volume takeout orders and customers ordering takeout usually check their orders before leaving the restaurants. So, the Apps had to make things right with customers so they'd use the services again, and that meant dealing with the high number of screwups and missing items. The Apps would deduct those refunds from the restaurant payouts. Restaurants started doing better but SOME customers continued to ask for refunds even when they received exactly what they ordered. The Apps had to curb this somehow. I know that customers who report that they didn't receive their orders at all for a second time are required to give a PIN to the drivers and there are a few customers that are required to even provide actual identification by presenting a photo id.
1
@tee2567 Restaurants have told me that they cannot remove an item from a bill that was placed through delivery services and only the delivery companies can do it. It's up to the individual restaurants to indicate on their Uber, Doordash, GrubHub restaurant app when they are out of an item so that customers cannot order it. Unless they do this, the apps are still going to accept orders for out of stock items. Restaurants are also required to indicate on the apps when they are and are not accepting delivery orders. Sometimes they don't, and that's why I've been able to order from restaurants that weren't even open at the time I placed the order. It's not until the driver gets to the closed restaurant that I find out they're closed. I order a lot from the cheesecake factory and I've learned that on busy Fridays and Saturdays, I have to place my orders before 6:30p or the restaurant stops taking delivery orders (even though I can order takeout directly from the restaurant and pick it up myself)

 @suestone6156 maybe in 2010 but not anymore.

 @davidperry4013 in my area, only pizza and Chinese restaurants have direct delivery.

 @joshuaevans3499 absolutely

 @russellseilhamer4552 Most restaurants don't have the ability to have delivery drivers on staff during all opening hours.

 @paulwalsh369 Every red state except two receives more in federal funding than they put in.

@john-paulhunt-r8d The tips do go to the drivers. However, if you don't tip, the driver gets, on average, between $1.61 - 2.38 for each order to drive to the restaurant, pick up the food and drive to deliver it. The tips are very important, especially since they use their own vehicles and gas. I think most drivers prefer customers to tip based on the number of miles between the restaurant and the home vs a percentage of the food.
1
 @theclamhammer4447 No, he's providing transparency that these companies don't provide
1
@john-paulhunt-r8d No, you wouldn't because you'd quickly see that subcontracting that out to Uber Eats and Doordash was more profitable and far less headaches. In addition, your customer base would be just a fraction of what it could be as you wouldn't have the exposure on UE or DD. In 2023, over 35% of restaurant profits came from delivery orders.

 @greinerphil Basically, yep. The vast majority of wealthy people who didn't inherit their money didn't get their by being decent people

 @indraw8516 the more income one receives, the lower the tax rate, though
1
We need to have millionaires paying the same rate of tax as everyone else. If you're in the top 2%, your tax is approx 8%. If you're below that, it's 28%. Vote the Republicans who keep giving tax cuts to the rich that the middle and lower classes are paying!

My insurance denied me staying in the hospital an additional day after i list so much blood during surgery that i kept losing consciousness. I kept fainting (losing consciousness) that negan within 90 minutes of the surgery. The doc's office called the insurance company twice with the doc's request. The docyor was so shocked that he called the insurance company himself and argued with whomever he spoke with in the ins co. Rhe doctor said hed never encountered this before. However, this was in the mid-90s, and Im sure he encountered it deveral times since.
