It is hard for me to feel sympathy for these people who basically enable the rock bottom of what human culture has to offer.

 @jonm-pe2mb Yeah, why don't they just choose to go hungry? They must be dumb.

@thomaswood2 If they would have better options they would of course be gone already. They don't. Freedom works both ways though. If those workers aren't satisfied they can negotiate a better deal, collectively, which is what we are seeing now. I say more power to them. The employer has limited options too, there are only so many potential workers for those jobs in the area. On top of that, civilized countries have decent minimum wages.

@purpurahaze9179 That's one way to protect your ego.

Divide and conquor. It still works.

Apparently there are still too many people who cannot afford to pass on these jobs under the given conditions. Freedom!!! You can unionize and strike but you cannot have every trucker join in. So others will take your work and you will hate them for it. If you do pull of an effective union, the big stores will bring in some Mexicans and you will hate the Mexicans for it. The owners of the businesses you work for have it all worked out. Somehow they always win and you always lose and you will blame the wrong people. Freedom!!! The government could fix this but what is government, really? They own that too. Slavery is back baby, only now it's legit!

Baffling. These are Bernie people and they're wearing Trump merchandise. 🤦

This is probably automatically optimized by software per area. Talk about what is fair is moot. As long as there are drivers available in a particular area, the share for the driver will go down. When availability sinks under a critical level, the share will go up a little. If you are in a desperate area, things will be worse for you than in an area where people can afford to give it up and look for something better. Freedom, people. The American way and stuff.
