    California is going to destroy itself and as a native Californian
    myself, I hope to hell it does. It saddens me greatly to see crap like
    this coming from my home state.

    (Though calling pizza delivery a career isn't a smart choice...)

    Pizza Hut franchisees lay off more than 1,200 delivery drivers in California as
    restaurants brace for $20 fast-food wages

    yeah that's crazy shit. california is working hard to destroy itself.
    i worked with a guy who delivered pizza and ended up being a manager. you can make tons of money delivering. it just sucks because you use your own car and gas.

    There is a Spanish saying:

    "Enjoy what you voted."

    So many working class people vote left to stick their finger on rich people's eyes and end up benefiting rich people and damaging themselves. It is hillarious.

    This is the same people who votes against farmers. THen they complain that they can't afford a tomatoe in the grocery store. Meanwhile village people eat as many tomatoes as they want and give the ones they don't want to the pigs.

    It is sad to see pizza delivery get the sharp part of the metal, though.

    I think here in Spain, usual practice is for the pizza restaurant to own the equipment and pay the expenses.

    Some pizza restaurants have started cutting deals with external deliverers (such as Uber Eats) as of late, probably because it allows them to have delivery without needing to hire somebody. Hiring people in Spain is extremely risky and many businesses would rather stop growing than hire more people.

    For some reason there is this lie that liberal politicians aren't rich, and they have the poor's best interests. In reality, they are just as rich as the other side. In the usa people are stupid. they will keep voting democrat in california just like they will keep voting democrat in my state of wisconsin.
    Most people are retarded.

    the
    equipment and pay the expenses.

    Usually in the usa they pay mileage and they require them to pay for their own insurance.

    I think the companies should provide the driver full coverage while driving on the clock.

    Pretty much.

    I mean, in any case, it is going to reflect on the price of the pizza and therefore the customer is going to pay it inddirectly, so the restaurant may be the entity purchasing the insurance for reduced paperwork IMO - it sucks less for the restaurant to buy 5 insurances in bulk than it sucks for each driver to buy their own insurance.

    Yes, then they move somewhere else and wonder why it turns into a shithole. It's already happening in my area due to them bringing their leftist politics.

    I call them locusts.

    This is the same people who votes against farmers. THen they complain
    that they can't afford a tomatoe in the grocery store. Meanwhile
    village people eat as many tomatoes as they want and give the ones
    they don't want to the pigs.

    They're also the ones telling people to buy meat at a grocery store becuase no animals are harmed there.

    It is sad to see pizza delivery get the sharp part of the metal,
    though.

    It is.

    Almost all delivery drivers don't have the right insurance to be doing deliveries if they aren't using a company car. Nearly every state requires you to have "livery insurance" which is something cab drivers and gig drivers (Uber, Lyft) have to use.

    Unfortunately, it's not cheap insurance.

    Unfortunately, in many states, it's the driver's liability if they are not driving a company-owned vehicle.

    In my city (entirely democrat) they have a program where they are supposed to take property tax money and use it to fix up the poor black areas. instead, they are using that money to fix the rich white areas up even nicer. this is a fact, and it is illegal, and everyone knows about it. They continue to do so.

    It's not a conspiracy theory, it is all there in black and white on paper. people bring it up, and it's ignored. alderman have even been caught taking bribes in the past.

    I am also charged for snow removal in september.

    oh but trump is so evil and that's why we all have to vote democrat!

    well uber and lyft and doordash have some type of liability coverage for the drivers. it does not protect the car but protects other car. looks like this
    only kicks in if your insurance refuses.

    if you have a car that is financed, i'm pretty sure they don't want you driving that car for any of this stuff. I don't think they really track it well or have an ability to track it as of yet.

    people that deliver for gig jobs should have commercial insurance, but they don't. i don't.

    Apparently the popular ones have 'rideshare' insurance which provides 'extra' coverage that is required for doordash, uber, lyft. i'm not going to get a quote and get marked by them to find out the price.
