My own impression is that you likely think it's being "papered over" because you live in California. If you lived out here in flyover country you'd probably be able to see that for a lot of people, there has already been a collapse of the old economic order. Things for a lot of people right now are not all that great around where I live.
A lot of them would love to be able to deliver groceries. Even that in some areas would be too risky though with the opioid epidemic being what it is around here.
- merrywhether 7y agoI’m not saying that things aren’t bad in a lot of places (I mentioned that I’m originally from the East coast, and have seen different status quos in different places), and I tried to be as non-proscriptive in my comment as possible. I was just struck because one of the main subjects lived in Sacramento, and I feel like a lot of these services are “homegrown” to the state.
- njepa 7y agoI see what you are saying, but as far as I know this is happening everywhere. Jobs have centralized and you are paying a premium for the opportunity. Otherwise service jobs are mostly what is left. While these apps are less common we certainly have the same pattern all over Europe.
- purplezooey 7y agoThere's no papering over now. There may have been years ago. But there simply isn't enough to go around. Between 2011-2015 SJ added 500,000 jobs and built 65,000 housing units. Not even making a dent in the demand.
