      But the ubereats guy is whizzing along footpaths as quick as he dares on an electric bike because hes gotta get back to make more deliveries to survive.

      I live in a tiny town where that doesnt happen, but whenever I go into my local Big City I’m always dodging them, terrified.

        Uber Eats guy is getting paid. Uber should be fucking destroyed, but that’s a separate take. No automation without talking about the impact it will have on the most vulnerable. People who speak from their ivory teslas might so well to come down here and float with us in poverty for a while.

      Except they don’t block the road. I live and work in an area with a ton of these things all the time. They usually are annoyingly cautious not to block the road, leading to them sometimes sitting at crosswalks for several cycles. That’s just not true. They don’t even really block the sidewalks even though there are a ton of them.
