@LeoSammallahti @loppear "only take enough [...] the platform" This assumes the delivery isn't part of the coop, otherwise those time and expense costs have to be captured.
There was a recent USA court ruling against one of the 'gig economy' companies that found the drivers to be employees.
It's an interesting problem. Restaurants that provide delivery can roll the delivery costs into the rest of the overhead, and provide "free" delivery. Not an option for courier.

The Common Ground Clinic started after Hurricane Katrina in #NewOrleans. Ebony Gustave interviews Magon Jackson about how the project has developed since then.

@mplammers@fosstodon.org No. Those investors are rich enough to invest in better paying funds. 401k funds are chosen to enrich the fund management house, not the workers.
There is no incentive for the fund management to invest in a company using it's services.
The company I work for had a 12% layoff, not because they were in dire need, but because investors were concerned with current profit levels. #ftfy #fuckcapitalism

When the US @HHSGov stripped @CDCgov of its control over infectious disease data about patients, it announced plans to collect, use, share, and store much more personal data than CDC ever had. We filed comments in opposition. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/08/no-expanded-hhs-surveillance-covid-19-patients

@ruff How do we know a trend was being tracked? Why weren't all incoming students and staff tested?
When you swell a population shouldn't you expect a corresponding increase?
I was just commenting that studies have shown that COVID-19 cases may be being underreported by 10x due to asymptomatic cases and a lack of testing.
People who think Trump is end of world but might not be willing to risk voting in person. ???
Postal Service does need protection from GOP, but is it being used as a diversion to foil progressive needs of the country from gaining media time?
”177 cases of the dangerous pathogen had been confirmed among students, out of hundreds tested."
"hundreds" tested
They probably have at least 1,770 cases out of the thousands not tested.

All the more reason to take control over your own location data and how it's shared, instead of hoping proprietary software funded by your data is operating in your best interests (it isn't): https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/08/secret-service-other-agencies-buy-access-to-mobile-phone-location-data/ #privacy
I'd like to see a graph of 3GLs vs. software quality and software productivity. My thesis is that it would be two level lines.
