Yay! Higher fees for customers and businesses, lower wages for workers, more profit for corporations! The system works!
You feeling that trickle down too? Tastes like gatorade lol.
Why’s it smell like sewage?

You forgot microplastics
Lol, I did, look Im not the FDA, okay lol
Yeah, shit, why?
Its got electrolytes!
Holy shit just the maneurisms in that movie would make it impossible to get anything in one take without laughing.
They did so well.
Its a hilarious scene lol. So many others too
Yeah, that guy on the right is barely keeping it together; can barely get through a 3-second meme.
If they can afford to buy out competitors, they aren’t paying drivers and employees enough
The article doesn’t say how they’re planning to pay for Instacart. They could be planning to take on billions of dollars in debt for all we know.
That still means the same thing though. If they’re planning to take billions of debt, they and their lender think they’re either making good money today or they’d be making it in the future. Or in other words they can either pay their workers more today or in the future. 😁
Or they are going to do the typical private equity thing and transfer the debt to instacart as soon as they are acquired and then use the debt as an excuse for instacart to go bankrupt in a few years (or months) and walk away one competitor less in the market.
And they won’t make any money on that?
If they pull the private equity BS, door dash will make loads while instacart posts nothing but losses ‘for unknown reasons, probably just a downturn in the market or something’.
Oh no they will, once you’ve enshittified the business you operate, you have to enshittify the entire business sector, during all of that you have to enshittify our government agencies in order to trade your corporate dumps on the populace for cash.
“Capitalism! It’s working for someone!”
They’ll get a hell of a tax break too
It’s never about what they can do, only what they want to do.
Hey ABC News, the word that you were looking for is Monopoly.
Came here to make the same comment lol
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.
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
Flabbergasted that people will pay so much to have McDonald’s delivered.
Top Ordered Food Nationwide:
Fries
Chicken Quesadilla
Mozzarella Sticks
Garlic Naan
Spicy Chicken Sandwich
Pepperoni Pizza
Chips & Queso
Traditional Wings
Cobb Salad
Fried Rice
I wonder if it’s gotten so expensive to eat out, that the delivery fee doesn’t appear as bad any more (comparatively)
It was 40-fucking-dollars to get two meals at carls Jr. I’ll never go there again and would rather buy local than a chain, but even another $10 wouldn’t look too bad for delivery
I don’t do delivery so idk what the actual cost is
its usually well off people using these apps.
it’s mostly tip, and tip is optional.
if you pay them a monthly free, like 10 bucks, you get no delivery fees. if you order like twice a month, it pays for itself.
you also often get coupons, discounts, etc. i use these services because I can get $50 in food delivered to my door for like $25.
Nearly everything on that list tastes better fresh and hot.
Chinese and pizza are typical delivery items because there’s a pizza joint in every neighborhood and Chinese can sit an hour with very little change to the food but why would anyone pay double or triple for McDonald’s when their fries are gross and soggy fifteen seconds out of the fryer?
they will pay to have a single boba drink delivered to them.
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.
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.
We don’t have a functioning government. If we did this wouldn’t be allowed along with the other massive consolidations going on.
Another item for the next administration’s checklist: break up all these damn corporate monopolies
That would be nice, but not likely to happen. It would be difficult once they are merged.
I’m no journalist, but something tells me ‘consolidation’ is the correct term for acquiring another corporation.
It’d only cost 10 billion if they went and picked it up in person.
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.
Enshitification incoming
That was doordash from the very start
