What would you think happens in a system where capital is evenly distributed? Think of it from a game perspective, how would that play out if you search for an equilibrium?

Well people paid him to do it, so it seemed essential to someone. And it's not like the right will continue indefinitely - if they fail in their skill they will start losing returns and losing that right (capital).

I think you're slightly misrepresenting what the parent comment is saying. You both are right. Food delivery can be profitable, and they could switch to being profitable if they wanted to. That's what the parent company is saying

I would not be surprised if the US market had some level of collusion going on. It just doesn't make sense to me that they aren't currently competing on price. There are some other possible reasons tho, like food actually not bein

How exactly is that different? There is an argument to be made, that if I just want a pizza, then my major decision-maker will be price.

I don't think you really understand how software works. No software has a "physical reason" to ask for money once they are done. It's really a terrible argument that you seem to try and turn into a quip against delivery

You are contributing to society. You've shown your value to the economy and got rewarded capital for it, which you now move in an efficient (?) way.

What you're missing here is that you not shopping anymore DOES have an affect. You're just missing the larger picture where they might be seeing a reduction in growth of shoppers and they might be considering doing things to comba

This is completely crazy. Its just one of these absurd Americanisms that we should take a look at during COVID and not continue.

I don't think arguing with strangers on the internet presents a valuable feedback loop for learnings in real-life discussions. It's just a very different world with different repercussions.

This often mis-repeated paycheck to paycheck statistic needs to die. Do you even read your sources fully? > 51 percent of those making less than $50,000 usually or always live paycheck to paycheck to make ends meet This is from the lowes

I think you're nitpicking on the parent comment forgetting to add "estimated" before "future profits."

That shouldn't mean you will never see a penny. AFAIK you will be prorated on the payments for sure, but of course if it's been over a month seems like there is a bottleneck in the governmental process for the benefit. That doesn&

Do you mean where the virus is going to go, or where this situation will go? Yes, most likely it will not get burnt out in the US until we have vaccine, herd immunity or the 3rd option, which is coalition/state/county level contai

I think you're severely overestimating your case, not to mention the cost will probably be determined by a multitude of factors, one of the big ones being how advanced the self-driving tech is. Most of your points are just theoretical

I worked directly in the space and I can tell you you're overestimating your "persona"s portion on the market. Also, why so you think that car is arriving faster for you on another app? They're running more bonuses at ti

The consumers are in Ubers pocket. Wayne and Tesla will be smooching to be Uner's chosen one. Businesses are demand based, not supply based.

They are refocusing on what's their core business. They found out that they're too late to the scooter game and just thought best to be a platform where other providers compete
