Or just order and put it in the fridge.

Can eat it over the next few days.

He has an active homicide case in Arkansas from 2017 where he made bail and I guess skipped the state?

HOW was he given bail tho?

Typically it doesn't end well for the customer when government bodies try to determine a fair price for a product or service. For products or services that are essential, highly complex or monopolized there's a case for government involvement but I don't think that food delivery in Alameda is essential, complex or a monopoly.

Legal orders are for those that obey the law. For the rest… it’s just another amplification to a charge.

As long as the fee is upfront about it who cares. I know exactly how much I'm paying for a uber/doordash/whatever delivery before I hit accept. This isn't like a restaurant where you sit down and after finishing your meal and getting your check you see a surprise +10% inflation fee or whatever crap they're pulling now.

Of course. But even with the cap they will still profit. If they leave because it's not enough it's on them and I see it as spite. Otherwise they won't leave. There is plenty to still be made from the companies. It happens all the time, they threaten to leave, and rarely ever do. The ones that do leave blame it on being unprofitable not necessarily always the truth, sometimes they still push for deregulation and try to throw their power around. "Hey do you miss us yet? If you change back to how we want it to be, well return like nothing happened."

I'm doubtful they'll leave anyway, and stick to the belief that if they do it's not because they can't make money doing what they do, it's because they don't want to do it and are acting out of spite. Again I don't believe they'll actually leave.

The fees don’t even make sense. It’s like they just grabbed a thesaurus and are using different names for the same fees: “Delivery fee, transportation fee, conveyance fee, convenience fee, carriage fee, etc.”

Companies, at least profitable ones, are cold-hearted and calculating, they will not leave because of spite they will stay if they can make money and leave if they can't. It all depends on what the fee limit is.

Who cares.

Nothing like paying $60 to get $20 worth of food delivered lol

Exactly. The companies still want to make money, so if they turn their nose up at it out of spite, another will gladly take the profits Uber abandoned.

I’ve always felt like the exorbitant fees for the restaurants aren’t fair, I.e as long as it’s clear and upfront pass the fee onto the customer.

The current business model is a bit devious as it passes the cost to the restaurant, so obviously people use delivery services excessively, to the point that if restaurants don’t use the services then they lose business. So they are screwed either way.

Getting bamboozled from your source is one thing.

Having multiple people working as a team to scrub the mistake off the website in such a MINTRUTH way is something else entirely.

If ABC wanted to retract the story, they should ethically retract the story, not try to scrub it's existence off the internet. Also, they should have seriously consider burning their source so that same source doesn't bamboozle some other media outlet, (if in fact they are blaming their source and did not doctor the video in-house.)

Someone, maybe ABC news, maybe their source that they're still protecting altered the video to darken all the spectators in the foreground filming a barrel of gasoline being hit with tracer rounds downrange.

> Most journalists and editors do their best to provide good stories, but it just takes is a one person willing to bend the truth either because they were paid off, or to fit a personal agenda or because they know someone

>We have told city leaders that if this ordinance is passed as drafted today, it may force UberEats to suspend delivery to City of Alameda residents

And this is a bad thing because....

If Uber left, another company would jump right in (i.e. Grubhub, Doordash) and abide by the price cap....It'd be nice to see more cities follow

I feel your pain. I was paid $17.50 an hour to be bitten, punched in the head, kicked, attacked with scissors, dodge thrown chairs, all while kept working right below the legal limit at which they'd have to pay me any kind of benefits. The only reason it worked out is because I was living at home at the time and could walk, no need to pay for a car or gas.

I was just about to say the same thing. Yeah that "command" is a ~240v charge that just fries the thing.

Only pizza used to deliver in low density areas. Pre-smart phone a Thai place used to deliver in our neighborhood, low density Seattle, they required $35 minimum order and only to a limited area. That was when dinner entree were ~$9 - $11 so it was only worth it if there were at least three people.

NCOs in WA work exactly that way. You call, police arrive and the person is either arrested if they are there, or a warrant is posted if they are not there. A lot of DV NCOs are put by a judge/court and not by the victim, which of course is a problem far as reporting and enforcement.
