  • The tip absolutely goes to the dasher. The screwed up system aside you are only compounding the exploitation of the delivery driver.

    Don't use the app but don't get mad at a system that you're choosing to participate in and actively making worse.

  • This is literally oil company propaganda. Oil extraction is an absolutely massive humanitarian cost that dwarfs all the cobalt mines in existence.

    Cobalt extraction in DRC is an inexcusable humanitarian cost as well. I don't deny that.

    But oil companies like to run the line that evironmentalism and exploitation of labor are going hand in hand. The truth is that exploitation and capitalism are the bedfellows and cause here. Just as they are on a much larger scale with oil. Environmentalism has nothing to do with it. Greed, racism, a long history of oppression, and the psychopaths who run our world are to blame. Not "going green".

    A proper title and focus of this film would be " Making Money: The toxic cost of capitalism and greed".

  • While I agree cars themselves are just insanely expensive. A $25k car has you at $450+/month and this is if you have excellent credit.

    We need other options besides cars and unfortunately they're the only option for many people.

  • What in the hell are you on about. There is no one choosing to be homeless in LA who can afford a house in bumblefuck.

    Per your other point there is nothing about the US housing market that is subject to natural supply and demand. It's a perverted tapestry of incumbents doing whatever they can to keep as many people priced out as possible.

  • We're not confused about why we do it. We're aware that doing it has negative outcomes.

    No amount of prolix explanation excuses even the act of stereotyping.

    It may be impossible to avoid stereotyping entirely which is why people practice not doing it. You call this "politically correct". I call it "behaving decently".
