Saw this coming from a mile off. It's just common sense. . employers won't have their bottom line cut that far. Force them to pay more and they'll look for other options. You have got things like grubhub. Pizza hut can fire their people and still sell just as many pizzas. This could literally translate into more profit if you think about it.
Surrendering control of your value chain increases profits how exactly? These illegal taxi companies are neither cheaper nor more efficient than bespoke delivery personnel even if you do the thing where you pretend they wont monopsonize and charge your business fuckloads for the "privilege" of using their service-- which they will.
Pizzas have thermally unfortunate form factors, and the illegal taxi companies have almost always had worse delivery times. It's just a loss for everybody who isn't a capitalist.
Who's going to deliver pizza now? What about when Cali comes after them too?
UE: waits for ph to fuck their drivers UE: it's time UE: increases ph delivery charge by 3x PH: wait you can't do that, only we can fuck people!
