It really does cost significant money to have to order delivered to your door. It’s a luxury.

“The law ensures that the drivers—who are independent contractors—are paid a “minimum wage equivalent rate” and receive the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) standard mileage reimbursement”

with a $5/order minimum.

The residents of the city voted the city council in, and they are responsible for this. No cares given.

If it weren’t for government interference, this would be the most prosperous country in the world, with the vast majority enjoying the benefits of living in this country.

But liberals don’t think so. Their whole purpose for existing is to destroy anything and everything that works.

Seattle Socialists can’t get it through their thick skulls that America is still a Capitalistic System that is still working. Seems these clowns are trying to destroy it and it is backfiring on them.

I live just north of Seattle, and I see a LOT of Uber orders at a fast-food place that I frequent. I’ve never seen so many before. Maybe the Seattle law is pushing people to order from places just outside of the city.

All they need now is a rule mandating that, under penalty of law, everyone must use some number of food deliveries each year...

Liberal disasters make the Liberals feel good about their supposed good intentions and everyone else feel bad. And the people responsible for the disaster always pay no price.

The ignorance of the Left is just astounding. They always forget that the real minimum wage is zero and try as they might, they cant control what people choose to do.

Leftards are morons dealing with economic matters and they never learn. The fruit of their rotten and ignorant agendas drives away business time and time again yet they press on with their madness.

A while back I came across an old adage which in so many words stated “A country cannot tax itself into prosperity” Apparently wisdom is not a strong side of our politicians and for most, especially the ones of today it never was. So the down hill slide continues.

At least, it looks like the law didn’t affect grocery delivery prices. It’s bad enough that the cost of groceries has gone up so high since Biden ruined our economy. It seems ridiculous that those drivers are getting more to pick up and deliver a hamburger, than we pay for the shopping, bagging and delivery of twenty bags of groceries.

One might imagine that progressive politicians would be quick to repeal a law that hurts workers, noncorporate local businesses, and the elderly and disabled all at the same time, but Seattle’s government officials are busy either doubling down or dissembling.
