The article says that electricity cost for charging scooters is practically nothing. If we believe it or assume that electricity cost is trivial compared to the payment, then I don't see any parent that'll say no to their nearly-adult children making money on the side by such an activity.
At worst they'll ask for compensation.

- freshhawk 8y agoWhat are you? A Commie? A capitalist parent realizes they control access to the power and will hire someone to collect scooters. They will probably hire their kids first, because they will have very strong negotiating power with their kids. And since the electrical power they control is necessary but extremely cheap the entirety of the profit margin will be determined by labor costs. In terms of negotiating salary they also control food, shelter and love which are resources valued by kids so long term profitability seems likely. Assuming a plan to recruit/give birth to new employees. A fee?!? A capitalist parent has a singular ethical duty to their shareholders.
- josefresco 8y ago* The article says that electricity cost for charging scooters is practically nothing.* The article actually qualifies that for people in large apartment buildings with a "bike room" - so essentially these people are freeloading. Charging a Bird doesn’t require a ton of electricity, so minus the labor cost, charging a few scooters overnight is essentially free—especially if you live in a large apartment building and can do so in your bike room
