This seems like it breaks down when you consider a lot of the regulations are ideological. Doordash was a better service before regulation, and in it's most heavily regulated areas has become both less accessible to aspiring workers and more expensive for customers. The main lesson if anything seems to be that there's little benefit to preemptively handicapping yourself with that sort of thing because society will impose it anyway.

> ...Doordash was a better service before regulation, and in it's most heavily regulated areas has become both less accessible to aspiring workers and more expensive for customers... Maybe you're not totally wrong...but that statement almost sounds like when a young person ventures off on their own to get their very first apartment...and has a job that allows them to afford only up to a maximum of USD$100 rent per month (I'm using low figure for ease)...but then this same person did not think to budget additional monthly costs like electricity, water, heating, etc...and of course blows way past their hard limit of $100/month....and then this same person cries that they didn't know about facts of life like paying for electricity, water, etc...or how businesses cry because they didn't think that they might have to conform with typical/normal regulations/costs of doing business and such...and that *that unexpected cost** is what is ruining them. ;-)

  Or maybe I actually worked the job and went into it with realistic expectations? I've been in the system long enough that the changes don't impact me as far as hiring but personally I thought it was more convenient as a worker when I didn't have scheduling windows and all the added hurdles keeping me from working when I want to. The added taxes and service fees similarly did me no favors as far as the actual number of orders available. But by all means belittle the people with actual experience in the field.

    My apologies if you felt I was belittling you or people in the field. That was not my intent. I was simply disagreeing with you, that's all.
