One is an essential service paid for mostly by the government, another is a profit-focused, privately owned company used to enrich the owners and pay the minimum amount to employees.
No disrespect for the delivery people, but these apps need to tone the fuck down.
And yet, it won't keep you from ordering food.
The issue is that there's still demand for it at that price.
You know that product pitch, "if you sell just one to every person in the world you'll be a millionaire." Well, Uber eats is a similar approach, but they can sell a lot of food deliveries until the food arrives cold or it's the wrong order or the myriad problems food deliveries encounter.
And guess which one gets paid more.
USPS should not focus on profitability and fuck Uber and the gig economy.
yes! it is a SERVICE Americans already pay for in taxes, the need to make a profit on it makes no sense.

The post office looks cheap because they get paid to deliver those 300 pieces of junk per week.
Cooking, the lost art.
Imagine not making new emails to get the new customer discount
Don't worry, they are already trying to get rid of the USPS so we can be charged ridiculous amounts for mail delivery.
Don’t worry, it’s been just two weeks. Elon and his minions are coming for it.
A lot of USPS offices are in prime locations in many cities. The real estate alone is worth hundreds of billions, at least.
One is not designed to generate profit. Nor should it be for that exact reason.
