Yay! Higher fees for customers and businesses, lower wages for workers, more profit for corporations! The system works!

If they can afford to buy out competitors, they aren't paying drivers and employees enough

Hey ABC News, the word that you were looking for is Monopoly.

Gross. Let's bring back the Bull Moose party and start busting up all these shitty megacorporations!

Cool. Previously I never used two companies.

Now I only have to never use one.

Perfect.

This is obviously a resounding win for the workers and customers, right?

Right?

Remember when we had functional anti trust investigations? I miss those days. I miss Linda 😭

I'm glad we made all those laws about monopolies and stuff. Would be bad if one were to be created in any sector in this country. But with hard work, and a watchful agency, we can protect ourselves from those dangers.

Sure glad it's all still working. ಠ_ಠ

That's fucking bullshit! Anti-competitive, monopolistic practices like this should be blocked by the anti-trust laws that we have in place to protect against precisely this!

What the fuck.

I get my groceries delivered once a month from Instacart because I'm blind, so if I wanted to go grocery shopping myself, I would have to spend money on an Uber to take me there, then get a shopping assistant to help me pick up the stuff I need, and then pay for an Uber back home, so it actually ends up being cheaper to just get it delivered, and I can see what I'm purchasing in the app.

This shouldn't be allowed. We need to stop letting corporations consolidate.

That aside, I don't think I've ever used either of these. I used to use seamless for restaurant delivery, but not so much anymore. Shit's too expensive.

I'm no journalist, but something tells me 'consolidation' is the correct term for acquiring another corporation.

Flabbergasted that people will pay so much to have McDonald's delivered.

It'd only cost 10 billion if they went and picked it up in person.

Enshitification incoming

Because competition is bad.

This feels like that bit about Taco Bell in Demolition Man. Idk, who would win each fight?

One network TV: Warner.

One US internet access, the utility and the equipment: FCC Inc.

One social media: Meta (because Elon will get bored and Spaz will sell out, but Zuckerberg only knows how to be the asshole he is in one specific way). Probably.

Blackrock, Health and Food divisions.

One computing component manufacturer: Nvidia.

Never mind how all of the above is supposed to be illegal.

instacart already barely pays its instore shoppers, something to do with what kind of orders are given to them. also different chains grocery will probably limit how much instacarts are in a grocery chain at anyone time.

they started even before amazon had thier instore shoppers(now wf shoppers), and they dint really get big at all.

How is this not a monopoly?

Anti-trust bullshit will be the death of us if we don't get our poop in a group

DoorRash to buy InstaFart.

Now watch as they lobby for right-of-way in tax-free pedestrian walkways.

Republicans in charge will do anything but dare to put up guardrails for these giant companies. They've long since decided not to regulate them, so corporations are free to merge, jack up prices, layoff workers, cut services, and create monopolies. The rich won't suffer from it...

I'll refer to them both from now on as WhoreDash and Instashart.

How is this even possible?

Door dash sucks ass. Instacart has been the only delivery service I've never had an issue with around my area and now it's fucked too?

I don't get it
