MORE THAN 25 PERCENT OF DELIVERY DRIVERS SAY THEY TASTE CUSTOMER'S FOOD, STUDY FINDS
https://www.newsweek.com/deliver…
"The study, conducted by US Food, examined the habits of both delivery customers and drivers. It indicated a full 28 percent of delivery drivers have taken food from an order. And 54 percent confess they are often tempted by the smell of the food they're bringing to customers."
- they want to make sure the food tastes goodKrassy
- it's just to make sure it isn't poisoned. they are helping the customers out. #gooddeedOTDcapn_ron

- they barely make a living wage. they're slaves to silicon valleyGnash
- They’re hired by the restaurantsmonospaced
- it's willing employment, wtf are you two on about?imbecile
- UberEats, Grubhub, DoorDash, et al... are not restaurants, monoGnash
- No shit. And for many of those the drivers are hired by restaurants. The website is often just a portal.monospaced
- And for some, not all, there’s a separate delivery service. Still wouldn’t call it slavery. It’s employment.monospaced
- salves with pay.
O_Opango - No shit? They don’t for the restaurant. The work for Uber eats, etc.Gnash
- Pango, they make nothing. Barely a living wage. Even though they get free salves for their skin conditionsGnash
- yes i agree they make barely a living wage.
"slave with pay"pango - Drones wouldn't steal your fries. just sayin.BabySnakes

- and have they 'examined the habits' ? Spying?Bennn
- and how have they 'examined the habits' ? Spying?Bennn
- If you think all delivery is Uber eats you’re living under a rock. Where I live almost all deliveries are made by restaurant staff.monospaced
- Interesting, your world always seems to conform to what you choose to believe. There’s a word for that in the DSMGnash
- lol, look who's talking! In most places, Uber eats hasn't taken over and local delivery staff for restaurants are the vast majority, and that's not choicemonospaced
- Implying that all delivery staff work for the ordering sites only is not just false, it's ignorant, and based only on your world view YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE ;)monospaced
- btw, where I live, there are many millions of people ordering every single meal every day for a decade online, and most are delivered by restaurant staffmonospaced
- Not one of those delivery men is a "slave to silicon valley," just the restaurants they work for delivering food ordered online or by phone.monospaced
- It’s like a tic isn’t It?Gnash

Japan approves first human-animal embryo experiments
The research could eventually lead to new sources of organs for transplant, but ethical and technical hurdles need to be overcome.
A Japanese stem-cell scientist is the first to receive government support to create animal embryos that contain human cells and transplant them into surrogate animals since a ban on the practice was overturned earlier this year.

Stop Blaming America’s Poor for Their Poverty
In Japan, people work hard, few abuse drugs, crime is minimal and single mothers are rare. The country still has lots of poverty.
Many conservatives in the U.S. believe that poverty is mainly a result of bad personal decisions. African-Americans are especially likely to be blamed for their own poverty -- an attitude that some political scientists call racial resentment. Stereotypes of so-called welfare queens have been a staple of Republican messaging for decades. But conservatives also attribute similar failings to poor white people. In a memorable 2016 article, National Review writer Kevin Williamson blamed divorce and substance abuse for the despair of the white working class:
[The white working class] failed themselves...Take an honest look at the welfare dependency, the drug and alcohol addiction, the family anarchy [and] you will come to an awful realization...The white American underclass is in thrall to a vicious, selfish culture whose main products are misery and used heroin needles.
- Are they also taking into consideration that Japan was completely flattened just 75 years ago?nb
- hmm not one mention of japans interest rates... as far as poverty blaming 85% or more is ones own fault.********

Asteroid shock: NASA preparing for ‘colossal God of Chaos’ rock to arrive in next 10 years
NASA has already begun preparations for the arrival of asteroid 99942 Apophis – dubbed the ‘God of Chaos’ asteroid – which will skim past the earth in 10 years. The asteroid measures 340 meters across and will pass within just 19,000 miles of Earth’s surface. Apophis is one of the largest asteroids to pass so close to the Earth’s surface and a collision with the planet has the potential to be devastating for all life on Earth.
