If this is California, Uber Eats may not make it, ever…or at least for a few months. A Judge ruled that Uber Drivers are employees and entitled to benefits not private contractors. Uber CEO announced that he would cease all activity in the state until he appeals.
Face it: We human beings are natural prey animals. No fangs. No claws. No armor. No fur. No poison. Crappy camouflage. Slow runners. Poor swimmers. Can’t fly. And, to top it all off, soppily devoted to our offspring, who remain helpless and useless for years after birth. (Contrast that with colts or fawns struggling to their feet within minutes of being born.)
Evolutionary biologists think that one of the (very few) advantages our ancestors had in the struggle for survival was endurance. They certainly weren’t faster than the game they were chasing across the savannah, but they could keep it up for hours, until the critters finally wore down and gave up. That same endurance also came in handy for the long, long walk back home, carrying a load of fresh meat.
Some people also claim this history of hunt-and-return is why modern men never stop to ask for directions.
