Obviously not (yet?) available in the US but other countries have much smaller trucks with larger beds. https://www.kia.com/dm/showroom/K2700-2022/specification.html
That plus a 2200 lb hauling capacity make them a very capable, efficient, and reasonably safe truck.
Nahh that's misandrist and body shaming. This definition is better.
2h is a long ass trip we've just been gaslit
The customers in this case are also treating the employee like shit.
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.
Fatalities are one thing to consider. Another is injuries that can range from minor to life changing.
I don't know the stats on this but pedestrian injuries would be something for policy makers to consider as well.
And in general:
I don't think that the US even tracks injuries at least I can't find anything from a cursory search. But according to Vancouver RTOR is 13% of all deaths and serious injuries. https://viewpointvancouver.ca/2022/08/23/rethinking-the-right-turn-on-red/
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".
I do things about it rather than sitting in the false comfort that I'll be unaffected as a straight, white, male.
Harm reduction is a thing though
You have to be pretty narrow minded and inexperienced to not be capable of imagining a situation where a massive pothole is unavoidable.
If you use a service from someone that depends on your tips and you don't tip them then you have exploited their labor. Not as bad as the company or CEO is but it's exploitation nonetheless.
