BoonyPC posted:I was doing menulog for a bit, back during the lockdowns. You’d average around $10 a delivery then and could earn around $30-$40 an hour most of the time. It was a good little way to get out of the house and get some extra cash at the time. I’ve heard stories of people in the city earning a decent amount in those high volume areas. Plus you pay fuel, tyres, depreciation on the vehicle etc all out of that small amount of money you get for the delivery. It's probably a hosed as way to make a living. Probably fine if you're idle for the peak hours and are using it for pocket money without declaring the income.

I've been watching a guy in London doing it on a scooter and he makes gently caress all. But on the otherhand, been thinking of giving it a go on my nights off as I tend to cruise around in the evenings hitting up the pokemon go spots so why not.

Work in IT and gardening is a nice yin to my daily yang. Trying to grow my own avocados and save some big $$$ down the road.

The place next door was advertised last month for rent for 3x my mortgage repayments. No wonder people can't get into the property market. No way to build a deposit with a rental market like that. Capital reinforcing capital. So gross.

well why not posted:Tiny Homes are also a bad, cynical solution to a needless problem. I can't remember what show it was, think maybe Gruen, but I saw some chucklefuck talk about how reworked shipping containers were the wave of the future for creating affordable housing solutions, and I have never before wanted to hurl something at the screen as much as I did in that instant. Like, if society has gotten to the point where this kind of thing is "necessary" and your reaction is to say sure, all the poors can be penned up like cattle, that's fine rather than wanting to radically change the underlying pressures that have put the housing market into such a state, then frankly you're incapable of making a meaningful contribution to anything because your brain has been destroyed.

It's loving stupid because you have to completely change the shipping container in almost every way to make it liveable. It's more efficient to build a frame. Complete idiocy. We should be building public apartments upwards with community gardens, pools, playgrounds, gymnasiums and shops nearby. Bald Stalin fucked around with this message at 02:46 on Sep 17, 2023 |

HazCat posted:We should be making it financially painful to own more than one home. I have a very long list of what we can do bigger picture, both short term and long term. I was responding specifically to the idiocy of using shipping containers. Tweaking finance capital for suburban houses is a liberal way of doing SOMETHING tomorrow but doesn't go far enough.

The challenge is not building them already falling apart and said pool areas leaking into the apartments below. The build quality on a lot of the new high rises are atrocious. Also more than a one or two bedder ffs.

Both of these are problems resultant from the commodification of housing. 3 bedrooms and high quality long lasting homes that will last generations aren't as profitable. We need to do something about it.

Laserface posted:If you're doing Uber eats with anything other than a hyper efficient e-bike you're doing it wrong. Even in a best case scenario where you're getting 6 jobs an hour and getting paid $5 for each one, with a car you're still only making barely minimum wage after fuel. I was thinking about doing it, but from what people have said in this thread, and looking online, it barely seems worth it.

Bald Stalin posted:that will last generations aren't as profitable. We need to do something about it. That's the issue. It's more about churn and burn and make quick profit then rush off to the next one. Which is in my eyes the fundamental issue with western society in general. It's all about ever increasing profit and unlimited expansion. Cheap, weak/flimsy, quick profit only and throw it in the trash and buy a new one when it breaks a year later. I really am getting old. I basically said 'don't make them like they used to'.
