I'm a California restaurant operator preparing for the $20-an-hour fast-food wage by trimming hours, eliminating employee vacation, and raising menu prices
He should probably just close his stores, saving the public from ever accidentally ingesting his disgusting food.
Two Pizza Hut franchisees, who own hundreds of stores in California, are eliminating their in-house delivery fleets. The labor-gutting strategy has left 1,200 drivers without jobs
Sooo....are they going to rely on Doordash and Uber Eats exclusively? Doesn't that come with significant uncertainty? Isn't this guaranteed to result in fewer orders being fulfilled?
I'm the type of person who doesn't see the world as a textbook problem, but rather a place full of real people with rights.
Me standing there next to the trolleys, I don't know what I'd do. I've been through enough scary shit to know that about myself: that I don't know what I'd do in a situation where people are going to die in front of me. I know it's probably not what I'd say I'd do based on some kind of moral math I figure out in a breakout discussion group on a breezy spring afternoon in college.
Why do I say "full of people with rights"? Because when you flip that switch in the trolley problem, you're killing someone. That's a violation of their rights and therefore it is wrong as a policy even if the math seems to work out.
Those are real people, who are now really jobless. It's a real problem, and it was actually, truly caused by this new policy. Being willing to just dismiss that because you think the numbers work out makes someone at least a tiny bit monster.
