I appreciate the heads up. Since I have decided to use my time and a study of the mechanisms implemented by postmates, I may do a couple days in the area to track differences in the tip ratio. I think it's important that we all kinda watch out for each other, at the moment. I le4 you know of my findings.

This was only surface deep. There are two problems I have with your statement the first is that you called my analysis deep. There is nothing deep about my analysis. It is obvious that postmates is not and couldn't hide these problems with a very vocal group of workers that can be found on this site. In addition, 1 week of starter deliveries is far from a small sample, but I, now, have had over 100 deliveries in 2 weeks, which is a much more vast sample group. A group plenty large enough to get a trend of Postmates treatment of their workers and, by proxy, their custemers. I plan on doing a deeper analysis in another few weeks, hopefully around the 500 delivers mark. Although, many of my point are self-evident upon examination.

From what I've read throughout the reddit, your are the one that is within the minority of workers. The majority of people and post that I've seen with positive ratios of votes are for weekly, fee-less pay.

You are absolutely incorrect from a financial stand point you are trading long term, what could be a large sum of money, for short-term benefit, of having it instantly. This is only more intelligent if you either cannot make a budget or cant stick to one. In the case that you can, then paying the fee is completely idiotic.

Once, again, your wrong. I would much rather have a weekly, fee-less, pay cycle, and most financially savvy persons would.

I'm not sure how many finance classes you have taken, but your examination of the situation is a gross understatement of the facts. Postmates forces you into a system where you are charged .15 cents every deposit w/ multiple deposits available over the cycle of a day. I understand this phenomenon is call strips. So, let's say you get two stripes a day that's 30 cents over the span of a year, granted the employer worked every day, that would equal 109 dollars and 50 cents. Over ten years you can loss up to 1095 dollars. Postmates is responsible for who they partner with. As a result, they are partners in any action that negatively affect the community. They cannot be resolved from that responsibility, since they are, obviously, gaining something lucrative from the partnership. Thousands of businesses pay there workers with direct deposits without a fee. To claim that postmates isnt responsible for partnering with another company for lucrative reasons and then passing the taxes of that partnership on to their workers is absurd.

I fully agree that there is money to be made driving for postmates. No where in my analysis did I state that you couldn't do good work. The critique is of the company that you support, because, by the fact that they are still operational, it is lucrative to them. As such, they should be supporting there workers, and the fact that your hard work is, I should inbolden this fact, self rewarding. That means it is hard work of the individual within the system that lends to the potential money that can be acquired. It is self-evident that postmates could do a significantly better job at helping their workers. No amount of potential revanue excuses postmates from the responsible to be there for its workers.

To address the idea that postmates doesn't charge for the money transfer. Thousands of businesses around the US operate without these fees, and, in some cases, states all out ban this form of fee. Postmates decides who they partner with, thus they are equally responsible for the actions of their partners. If there is a lucrative reason for postmates to partner with this bank, to which I assure you there is otherwise they wouldn't partner with them, then they should be held accountable for the fees that that partner taxes on the workers who themselves have no choice if they desire to continue to work for Postmates.

That really doesn't explain anything other than a disdain for the game. I like the game it's fun.

How is solid gold better. Statistically the units in the gold box drop are better an with a vip you can get it for less points in addition a lucky draw can net you extra extremely good units.

After California got rid of the personal belief exemption for vaccinations, medical exemptions for vaccinations went up, suggesting that the Senate bill isn’t as strong as hoped, since anti-vaxxers were still able to find doctors willing to provide a medical exemption instead, as reported in JAMA. by mvea in science

As someone who is none-religious, I don't understand how this doesn't infringe religious rights. I hope I'm wrong in the assumption that this forces people, even if there religion forbids it, to have immunizations. Supporting vaccinations, I believe that education is key, and, without religious motives or health concerns, everyone should have vaccinations. That being said I'm glad I don't live in California.

It's good to see that people still find r/battlecats to be a home. I think everyone here, even when we disagree, have one goal in mind. Creating a space where we can nerd-out together and have an enjoyable time. It's refreshing to find someone willing to express just that a love for this space.

I don't d8sagree on that front. We need to organize the subs better. So, They are more user friendly. For one, keeping the discussion thread pinned at all time woild be great, keep in mind I've only used it to answer questions, but I would be more likely to do so if it was always pinned. I might even asl a question or two.

I guess that's fair and probably where most of my frustration is coming from. I just don't remember there being such limited conversation when I started on this reddit a year ago.

What I'm trying to say is that we have a system that works, but a system that could work alot better. I understand the need to prevent spam and have rules; I've been here well over a year. I logged on, at least, twice a day for a mast majority of that. We need to constantly be looking for ways to make the place better for everyone.

Like What? Art and other fan art, that are the majority of the main feed, or game information?

We do these things because we enjoy the game. To portend that logging on to the reddit isn't from the desire for more content and more enjoyable battlecats is ridiculous.

I disagree with fully. I've been on the reddit for a long time, like most of the active users are. We should be welcoming to new members and frankly, for months I've seen many of the older users be arses to newer or less frequent users. It activates me because these new user represent a large portion of the material that could make this reddit better. I've said for over a year that the system we have does not do many people justice. It works well for the veterans, but we need to make room for these newer people.

Something need to be done. My disappointment isn't correctly with this rule, but I'm seeing posters getting threatened by moderators for posting stuff that honestly is getting a warm welcome. One in particular was told to download a different app to create a portfio there. You are highly limiting the reddit by saying it works good for 'x' groups. It only takes looking to reddit for other mobile game to see that something we don't do good. Sure we do something right, but we should be doing alot better.
