We should do something about it - when it happens somewhere else. There, it's unfair competition and they're literally raping our lunch. Here, it's the free market gig economy and if you don't like it yurracormanust.
Fucking rubbish. I would say you're a DeVry grad, but maybe you're a professor at Trump-U.
If I'm away in some city I don't really give a fuck what a hotel's margins are - the decision weighs on whether I think it's worth paying the rate rather than sleeping in my car or under a bridge.
Are you claiming that the U.S. Constitution will be amended to give President-elect Trump a term an order of magnitude longer than that for which it presently provides?

If you could replace ten hand-weavers with steam-powered looms and employ five loom minders, one stoker, one repairman and (indirectly) one in mining and one in the loom factory you wouldn't do it - there'd be no saving.
That's 3.5 million drviers in tne US alone. How many globally? 10 million?
I'd say that's a good estimate, based on the fact that while the US may not have close to a third of the world's population or land area, nearly everywhere else relies on packhorses, wheelbarrows and trebuchets.
The wealth created by far cheaper production goes to employing people in other areas (for example, the one person of the above example will still have needs). The 99 people are now free to do other jobs.
They're free to do other jobs - if those other jobs exist. I don't see why it's a given that they will.

Do you know what janissaries were, fatty?

GM don't try to pass themselves off as discornic uniflake snowupters.
Well go and play outside already. You might get kidnapped by Romanian peadiofiddlerists or stabbed by check-clad chavs but hey - no risk, no fun!

The political science isn't.
Are you implying that the corporations aren't the government?
But gig economy, and apps!
What you need is called a batch number, and they've been in use for decades.
Blockchains are webscale because they don't use joins.
Vain? Are we talking about Youssef, the guy who probably thinks that song's about him?

I haven't experienced windows 10, but 8 is worse than 7 and 7 is worse than XP, so I'm not exactly full of joyous anticipation.
Maybe there's a 3rd-party addon that'll make it almost as good as ME?

I was going to say the army, but if it makes you happier I'll throw in the navy and the air force too.
I wonder how good AIs are at detecting sarcasm? Probably better than you, just like they were in 1957.
At Trump-U, oops, I mean Kushner Kollege.
