- eru 9y agoDid you know that the US is not the only country in the world?
- adtac 9y agoI'm not from the US, never been there. But I thought the context here was obvious. Even still, it's regulated in almost all countries.
- eru 9y agoI was thinking about Singapore, which pays as little as 2.50 SGD/h at McDonald's, yet has a thriving food scene. (And, yes, they have plenty of regulations eg about food safety. But no minimum wage.) In any case, perhaps a faulty analogy. But your claim "[...] when Uber undercuts competitors by a large margin using inhumane practices, the competitors tend to vanish over time. In the end, guess who is your only choice." doesn't hold up at all.
- adultSwim 9y agoWhoa there, grandpa. Don't box me in. I can't be weighed down with health insurance much less a stable income that I can plan around. Pfft, next thing you know I'll be able to retire when I'm old.
