Who is rich? The platforms aren't making a lot of money, they've been losing money for a very long time. The valuations were pumped by VC money and maybe the founders are paper rich.

Stop hand waving about capitalism. Give me a real answer.

Might be diff with others but I delivered maybe 5m out most. Mostly less than a mile (sense suburb). I drove maybe 20-30 miles in a 3 hour shift

The companies are losing money so the C-suite are doing what most small business owners are doing and not drawing a paycheck so they can make payroll, right?

...right?

Donald Trump is worth billions of dollars despite dozens of his projects "losing money"/going bankrupt. I will stop "waving about capitalism" when it stops doing the same fucking thing while incredulous passersby go "surely it must be something else causing the problem".
