Uber eats etc pulled all the money out of the community. No longer does the restaurant make money and pay a little bit to the driver, who back in the day might have been the owner or the owners kids. No, now the restaurant margins are impossibly thin and so the food is shit, and the driver isn't an employee and spends it all on gas and oil changes.

Uber eats takes all the money and sends it to investors.

Uber and all the other Ubers for X no longer provide a service. They made an app that helps deliver goods and services, but now what? If we nationalized these companies and made them owned by the people, or the people in that industry, we could actually keep the money in your own city.

Instead we have $80 pizzas and poor, disaffected workers.

In manufacturing the kanban board is a literal board. A white board or paper attached to a wall.

Pity, you have to defend your ideas in a free market of thought.

A careful read of the meme shows were talking about edgy, borderline right wing shit postings.

What? Maybe some people join communities for fun and togetherness. Not amateur hour jew jokes or whatever.

The shit posters drive a wedge in a community and the people who don't like the "innocent" jokes leave. This makes fertile ground for ideological take over. Rinse and repeat in Fandoms, subreddits, message boards, etc.

Going to be highly dependent on context. At the cancer hospital? "Old Men" might just be 80+ years. At the office, it might be 60+.

Young adult in a lot of countries will start at 18 or even younger I think? US, adulthood starts at 18 even though a lot of adult things are still closed to them (drinking alcohol, having completed college, etc). So if we mean legally a young adult is probably 18-30 whereas if we mean a young person who is starting adult life we might not mean until 22 or older when they have a chance to start a career, etc.

Elderly and other descriptors might follow the contours of eligibility for government programs like social security.
