| DaemonFC | schestowitz, Coke AI | Apr 25 00:02 |
| DaemonFC | "The AI stock surges are not in line with fundamentals and are reminiscent of past instances of companies throwing out buzzwords to appease eager investors. Take blockchain, for instance." | Apr 25 00:03 |
| DaemonFC | At least this article SAYS IT. | Apr 25 00:03 |
| DaemonFC | https://finance.yahoo.com/news/subway-reports-121-same-store-sales-jump-as-company-eyes-sale-this-quarter-120016246.html | Apr 25 00:08 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-finance.yahoo.com | Subway reports 12.1% same-store sales jump as company eyes sale this quarter | Apr 25 00:08 | |
| DaemonFC | People complaining in the comments about what it costs to have fucking Subway delivered. | Apr 25 00:08 |
| DaemonFC | Getting it delivered adds at least 60% by the time you tip and they jack all the prices up because "delivery fees". | Apr 25 00:09 |
| DaemonFC | Also, you typically can't redeem paper coupons, which they still issue. | Apr 25 00:09 |
| DaemonFC | You have to take those into the store. | Apr 25 00:09 |
| DaemonFC | If you get the paper coupons, two footlong subs are like $13+tax, not $30. | Apr 25 00:09 |
| DaemonFC | I hear mjg59_ like cold cuts though. | Apr 25 00:10 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-finance.yahoo.com | Microsoft earnings: AI hype could take backseat to cloud growth troubles | Apr 25 00:11 | |
| DaemonFC | "Microsoft (MSFT) will report earnings for its fiscal third quarter after the bell on Tuesday as the company continues to ride the generative AI hype train while a decline in cloud revenue could spoil the tech giant's quarter." | Apr 25 00:11 |
| DaemonFC | In other words, MSM is saying what you said for months. | Apr 25 00:11 |
| DaemonFC | Their "cloud" division is in trouble and it's finally being reflected, in the books. Although still probably understated. | Apr 25 00:11 |
| DaemonFC | Accounting practices? What accounting practices? | Apr 25 00:12 |
| DaemonFC | Meanwhile, AI hype runs up the stock with fake value while execs dump it. | Apr 25 00:12 |
| DaemonFC | "According to Gartner, worldwide PC shipments declined a stunning 30% in the first quarter of this year to 55.2 million units." | Apr 25 00:13 |

| DaemonFC | But as long as he gets the check before the first, I am not late on the rent. | Apr 25 03:57 |

| DaemonFC | So I get to earn a little money on the money I've already paid him. | Apr 25 03:58 |
| DaemonFC | I expect rent will go up another $50 or so next renewal if he still owns the building. | Apr 25 03:58 |
| DaemonFC | At which point, leaving the money invested for the turnaround time will earn about $25-26 a year. | Apr 25 03:58 |

| DaemonFC | They want the kid to put his money in the bank and sing about it earning compounding interest. | Apr 25 04:14 |

| schestowitz | god save de queeeeen | Apr 25 04:22 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, fish & chips is still relatively affordable in the US. | Apr 25 04:22 |
| DaemonFC | Especially at home. | Apr 25 04:22 |
| DaemonFC | You can just buy bags of frozen breaded fish (Gortons or something) and a bag of fries and fry it all yourself. | Apr 25 04:23 |
| DaemonFC | I use a spray bottle of oil and an air fryer to cut down on the cooking oil we use. | Apr 25 04:23 |
| DaemonFC | Not the canned oil, because that will ruin your frying basket. | Apr 25 04:23 |
| DaemonFC | But you just pour regular olive oil into a spray bottle. | Apr 25 04:24 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, I was singing that song in the shower while SVB was failing. | Apr 25 04:28 |

| DaemonFC | The kid accidentally causes a run on the bank at the end by panicking everyone. | Apr 25 04:29 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, I just don't see much in the way of investments with decent interest and short term liquidity other than no penalty CDs right now. | Apr 25 04:31 |
| DaemonFC | If you invest it in Savings Bonds right now you will need to hold them for at least a year. True, even if you withdraw them and take the 3 month penalty, you'd earn at least 4.48% still. | Apr 25 04:32 |
| DaemonFC | But then you're back where you are with a no penalty CD, with the only perk being you don't owe state income tax on the interest. | Apr 25 04:32 |

| DaemonFC | Loyalty is earned. When you turn employment into some low wage Hell where the employees have no input and it's hostile and toxic, what do you think happens if they can find a job that pays even $1 an hour more? | Apr 25 05:10 |

| DaemonFC | A lot of them commit wire fraud, violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, deceptive practices, lie to the IRS (and the state), make false statements to investors, make false statements to the SEC, and the list goes on for a mile. | Apr 25 05:28 |
| DaemonFC | Then they get a slap on the wrist. | Apr 25 05:28 |
| DaemonFC | So white collar crime costs the US economy about $200 billion a year. It's that bad. | Apr 25 05:28 |
| DaemonFC | "Blue collar crime" costs about $16 billion. | Apr 25 05:28 |
| DaemonFC | But the prisons are full of poor people. | Apr 25 05:28 |
| DaemonFC | Even though every crime they do put together is hardly 5% as damaging to the economy. | Apr 25 05:29 |
| DaemonFC | The government doesn't investigate white collar crime too much unless it becomes impossible to hide. | Apr 25 05:29 |
| DaemonFC | These cases are complex, they're hard to investigate. The people who do it are "untouchable" anyway. | Apr 25 05:30 |
| DaemonFC | So they focus on the small business owner with a big sign on her ice cream shop. | Apr 25 05:30 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, ^ | Apr 25 05:30 |
| DaemonFC | If Bill Gates was a poor pedophile, the police would just do a no knock warrant. | Apr 25 05:31 |
| DaemonFC | Yank him out of his house in his underwear in the middle of the night. | Apr 25 05:31 |
| DaemonFC | He has "people" bring him "the stuff". | Apr 25 05:32 |
| DaemonFC | He would never risk doing it on his home network or in a US state. | Apr 25 05:32 |
| DaemonFC | So they have yachts that go out into the middle of the ocean. | Apr 25 05:32 |
| DaemonFC | They have people to bring them the smut over the sneakernet. | Apr 25 05:32 |
| DaemonFC | Then there's no way for the cops to even come up with a chain of evidence. | Apr 25 05:33 |
| DaemonFC | There's really no good excuse for a guy like Rick Allen Jones to have ever been in the Gates Mansion. | Apr 25 05:33 |
| DaemonFC | Everyone knows that he was Bill's Cheese Pizza delivery man. | Apr 25 05:33 |
| DaemonFC | <mjg59_> It doesn't make sense to have your salary and your investments depend on the same company | Apr 25 05:34 |
| DaemonFC | There's a Walmart employee stock purchase plan that has a 15% discount on shares. | Apr 25 05:34 |
| DaemonFC | It does match 15% up to the first $1,800 you buy per year. | Apr 25 05:35 |
| DaemonFC | Technically you CAN dump it immediately but you'd be making a short term capital gain. | Apr 25 05:35 |
| DaemonFC | If you wait a year, you can take the long term rate, which is 0%. | Apr 25 05:36 |
| DaemonFC | Your cost basis will be 15% lower than the share price the date your paycheck went out and the sale price will be whatever the public can buy it for in a year. | Apr 25 05:36 |
| DaemonFC | You pay no capital gains. | Apr 25 05:36 |
| DaemonFC | It does actually make sense to buy $1,800 worth of the stock each year and get the discount and then sell it at the long term capital gain rate. If you can. | Apr 25 05:37 |
| DaemonFC | Scoop and toss. | Apr 25 05:37 |
| DaemonFC | And if some of it goes down vs what you paid, you can take a tax write off of the difference. | Apr 25 05:38 |
| DaemonFC | It can be a totally decent way to earn a little money on the side. | Apr 25 05:38 |
| DaemonFC | As long as the shares don't fall more than 15% in the year you have to hold them, you make at least some profit and don't pay tax on it. | Apr 25 05:39 |
| DaemonFC | If you want to toss them as soon as you can after buying them, FIFO accounting for acquisition and sale works well. | Apr 25 05:40 |
| DaemonFC | mjg59_, I guess if your employer is a volatile cash furnace, you can't bet that you'd probably profit. | Apr 25 05:41 |
| DaemonFC | Even if they sold it to you at a discount. | Apr 25 05:41 |
| DaemonFC | I try to toss my shares after the earnings report. If the earnings report causes the shares to drop, then I just hold and wait for the next opportunity. | Apr 25 05:42 |
| DaemonFC | TurboTax clued me in to the fact that I should be doing this when I noticed that I could take a long term rate of zero. | Apr 25 05:43 |
| DaemonFC | It's tax free income on the gain and it's hard not to gain. | Apr 25 05:43 |
| DaemonFC | You manage it through BofA. | Apr 25 05:44 |
| DaemonFC | And there's no fees for dumping it. | Apr 25 05:44 |
| DaemonFC | So basically even the lowest paid employees at Walmar could be making hundreds of dollars in capital gains each year, if they want to. | Apr 25 05:45 |
| DaemonFC | And paying nothing on it. | Apr 25 05:45 |
| DaemonFC | They just have to be willing to tie up some money for a little while. | Apr 25 05:45 |
| DaemonFC | You could dump it immediately but then your tax rate would be the same as your income tax rate. | Apr 25 05:46 |
| DaemonFC | The tax code rewards people who hang onto things for a while before selling. | Apr 25 05:46 |
| DaemonFC | You can use Schedule D for all sorts of things, including selling coin that you bought earlier and realizing a profit. | Apr 25 05:47 |
| DaemonFC | Anyway, mjg59_ $1,800 is a fair chunk of a typical Walmart employee's paycheck. | Apr 25 05:47 |
| DaemonFC | So it requires discipline and it's also the stock of the company they work at. | Apr 25 05:48 |
| DaemonFC | I'll wait while you go load Wiktionary or something to read up that discipline means something other than whatever you and Buffy are into. | Apr 25 05:49 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, Picard was a great series from start to finish. | Apr 25 05:50 |
| DaemonFC | But Vadic was probably the best Star Trek villain so far. | Apr 25 05:50 |

| DaemonFC | His dumb ass also managed to get me another $600 this year. They say that's what the check will be for the insurance company settling for the BIPA violation. | Apr 25 06:58 |

| DaemonFC | The liberals are in there replacing math class with a lesson on getting your penis cut off when you're older, say 12 or so. | Apr 25 07:10 |
| DaemonFC | It's terrible. | Apr 25 07:11 |
| DaemonFC | Head Start (on turning into Uncle Jessica) | Apr 25 07:11 |
| DaemonFC | <mjg59_> It doesn't make sense to have your salary and your investments depend on the same company | Apr 25 07:12 |
| DaemonFC | I noticed you went silent when I recommended dumping $1,800 a year into Walmart stock if you work at Walmart. | Apr 25 07:12 |
| DaemonFC | Technically it's not a discount, it's extra stock for free. But what it cost you doesn't really matter when you sell it at long term tax rates with the pay of a Walmart worker. | Apr 25 07:13 |
| DaemonFC | You're basically saying no to $270 in free stock every year you work there. You can sell it the next year and pay no taxes on whatever the capital gains end up being. Even if you sell it at face value, you're essentially telling them not to pay you an extra 13 cents an hour by not doing it. But Walmart stock usually appreciates over time. | Apr 25 07:17 |
| DaemonFC | Since there's FIFO accounting, it's not just dollar cost averaging at work here like a retirement plan. | Apr 25 07:18 |
| DaemonFC | If you want to hurry up and dump some of the extra shares you acquired at a loss before holding them exactly a year, you can do that, lower your tax bill, and still at the very worst break even. | Apr 25 07:19 |
| DaemonFC | That's because if you held it for less than a year, you can dump and the Schedule D will reflect a Short Term capital loss, which is at your income tax rate. | Apr 25 07:19 |
| techrights-ipfs-bot | (ℹ) Planet Gemini updated. Latest complete date at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/planet/othercapsules/2023-04-24.gmi and so far today at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/planet/othercapsules/2023-04-25.gmi with 3-day aggregate at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/planet/othercapsules/allinone.gmi | Apr 25 07:20 |
| DaemonFC | So you can cut your taxes by declaring a loss on some of your shares and then sell the rest later, the ones that have appreciated. | Apr 25 07:20 |
| DaemonFC | You'd hang onto the ones that they give you that would be considered a 100% gain and sell out of the ones that you purchased. | Apr 25 07:21 |
| DaemonFC | This is surprisingly legal. | Apr 25 07:22 |
| DaemonFC | You can use the Associate Stock Purchase program to profit and still declare a tax loss. | Apr 25 07:22 |
| DaemonFC | By using FIFO accounting and tactical selling. | Apr 25 07:22 |
| DaemonFC | That's because the "loss" would be out of shares you paid for at the short term rate that you held for under one year, and the "profit" would be on the ones you got from Walmart and held for at least a year at the long term rate on a future year's tax filing. | Apr 25 07:24 |
| DaemonFC | I suppose you could also do it on the same return. | Apr 25 07:26 |
| DaemonFC | It's one calendar year, not one tax year. | Apr 25 07:26 |
| DaemonFC | It's set up this way on purpose. | Apr 25 07:27 |
| DaemonFC | Stock trading rules mainly benefit the rich and they know how to structure things like this on an enormous scale. | Apr 25 07:28 |
| DaemonFC | Meanwhile, they corrupt the public schools so that everyone else is loading up on credit card debt and can't balance a checkbook. | Apr 25 07:29 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, ^ | Apr 25 07:29 |
| DaemonFC | I don't think the money markets are going to slow down much. | Apr 25 07:29 |
| DaemonFC | I'm going to see what the Federal Reserve does with interest rates and where that takes CDs. | Apr 25 07:30 |
| DaemonFC | I might pull them all early (no penalty) and buy fresh ones if the rate goes up. | Apr 25 07:30 |
| DaemonFC | Walmart's revenue and net income are doing a lot better lately than they usually do. | Apr 25 07:33 |
| DaemonFC | Like I said, more people have to shop there. | Apr 25 07:33 |

| schestowitz | in many topics/strands | Apr 25 14:27 |
| schestowitz | and it got worse | Apr 25 14:27 |

| schestowitz | controversials are good people | Apr 25 14:27 |
| schestowitz | good people are deleted | Apr 25 14:27 |
| martylake | re LLM, I am not well versed into AI, but I though LLM were different than previous technologies. I fail to understand how Context-free grammar is equivalent to LLM in that regard. | Apr 25 14:27 |
| schestowitz | llms are trained on text | Apr 25 14:28 |
| martylake | yes | Apr 25 14:28 |
| schestowitz | and predict likely next x words | Apr 25 14:28 |
| martylake | yes | Apr 25 14:28 |
| schestowitz | with some grammatical rules | Apr 25 14:28 |
| martylake | (they call words "token" for some reason) | Apr 25 14:28 |
| schestowitz | they are just statistical lipsticks on the previous generation | Apr 25 14:28 |
| martylake | sure | Apr 25 14:29 |
| schestowitz | in LLMs, words are token too | Apr 25 14:29 |
| schestowitz | they are just some object | Apr 25 14:29 |
| martylake | all the "intelligence" is just emergent behavior, usefull ones though. | Apr 25 14:29 |
| schestowitz | there is no real understanding | Apr 25 14:29 |
| martylake | indeed. | Apr 25 14:29 |
| schestowitz | only simulation thereof | Apr 25 14:29 |
| schestowitz | it wasn't done much before as: | Apr 25 14:30 |
| schestowitz | 1) it's expensive | Apr 25 14:30 |
| schestowitz | 2) no business model (See (1)) | Apr 25 14:30 |
| schestowitz | 3) it's useless | Apr 25 14:30 |
| martylake | still, a gap was bridged in usability of these tools. I can confess that it saved me a lot of time by not having to help a friend get started into learning python. | Apr 25 14:30 |
| schestowitz | 4) it would not be accurate, see (3) | Apr 25 14:30 |
| schestowitz | the media bribed by microsofty makes faux "sue cases" for it | Apr 25 14:30 |
| schestowitz | llke "passing exam" | Apr 25 14:31 |
| martylake | yep. all PR stunt for sure. | Apr 25 14:31 |
| schestowitz | yeah | Apr 25 14:31 |
| schestowitz | expensive PR stunt | Apr 25 14:31 |
| schestowitz | plus, | Apr 25 14:31 |
| schestowitz | expensive training | Apr 25 14:31 |
| schestowitz | GPT-3 | Apr 25 14:31 |
| schestowitz | than 4 | Apr 25 14:31 |

| schestowitz | no such thing | Apr 25 14:31 |
| schestowitz | lots of vapourware | Apr 25 14:31 |
| schestowitz | now they need more vapour, so some say "5" | Apr 25 14:31 |
| martylake | _yet_, my friend was able to write its python script to scrap some webpage in a few hours of back and forth with the tool. as a real newbie in python scripting, it would have been more lengthy to just type search engine queries for sure! | Apr 25 14:32 |

| schestowitz | martylake: go to google.com | Apr 25 14:34 |
| martylake | I agree that there is tons of PR stunt, and lots of fear-mongering (AGI lol). still, these tools seem to provide an interface that "ticks" for some human because natural language, isn’t it? | Apr 25 14:34 |
| schestowitz | or searx.be | Apr 25 14:34 |
| schestowitz | search for | Apr 25 14:34 |
| schestowitz | examples python scraping | Apr 25 14:34 |
| schestowitz | and some might be complete examples | Apr 25 14:34 |
| schestowitz | and they are tested and work | Apr 25 14:34 |
| schestowitz | not some spewed junk from a bag of "tokens" | Apr 25 14:34 |
| martylake | I understand your harsh cricitism of early versions of this category of tools, but I can attest that my friend was complete noob, and got its task done. It doesn’t matter that internet already had all of the answers, in pieces, somewhere. Here, the answers were retrieved at the right moment, tuned for the problem at hand, hence, useful bag of "tokens". | Apr 25 14:36 |
| martylake | once you know your way in python programming, you can already get things done by doing googl or searx searches, for sure! | Apr 25 14:37 |
| schestowitz | sounds like the friend needed code | Apr 25 14:37 |
| schestowitz | not words | Apr 25 14:37 |
| schestowitz | so it was not the chaffbot | Apr 25 14:37 |
| schestowitz | but maybe a GPL violation | Apr 25 14:37 |
| schestowitz | some code harvesting like shithub co-pilot | Apr 25 14:38 |
| martylake | probably. | Apr 25 14:38 |
| schestowitz | without any attribution or markings | Apr 25 14:38 |
| schestowitz | so many it was code ripped off | Apr 25 14:38 |
| schestowitz | and there is a class action lawsuit over it right now | Apr 25 14:38 |
| schestowitz | hence, possibly risky | Apr 25 14:38 |
| martylake | scrapping the whole internet is not an operation that embarasses itself with copyrights. | Apr 25 14:38 |
| schestowitz | the friend does not know where the code came from | Apr 25 14:38 |
| schestowitz | <martylake> once you know your way in python programming, you can already get things done by doing googl or searx searches, for sure! | Apr 25 14:39 |
| schestowitz | if you don't know how to run .py files, thewn you are doomed also | Apr 25 14:39 |
| martylake | no, and the friend cannot care less! the code will be used and thrown away. | Apr 25 14:39 |
| schestowitz | using google is eaier than running a .py file | Apr 25 14:39 |
| martylake | I am trying to understand your point, which is more elaborate than "LLM = bad". | Apr 25 14:39 |
| martylake | what you are saying is: LLM are expensive, and built on top of risky data sources, | Apr 25 14:40 |
| martylake | therefore, they are not useful ever ? | Apr 25 14:40 |
| schestowitz | that's nottt what i said | Apr 25 14:40 |
| MinceR | they seem to understand language and they can use it | Apr 25 14:40 |
| martylake | please correct me. | Apr 25 14:40 |
| schestowitz | you are conflating two things | Apr 25 14:40 |
| MinceR | they seem to be working fine in that regard, but people overhype them | Apr 25 14:40 |
| martylake | nods at MinceR overyhpe comment | Apr 25 14:41 |
| schestowitz | you moved the debate from chaffbots (chatbots) | Apr 25 14:41 |
| schestowitz | to code | Apr 25 14:41 |
| martylake | I tried to pick a concrete example, because staying vague enough doesn’t get me to understand. | Apr 25 14:41 |
| martylake | moving the debate wasn’t the goal. | Apr 25 14:41 |
| schestowitz | i see | Apr 25 14:41 |
| schestowitz | anyway, those are different things | Apr 25 14:41 |
| schestowitz | like debating copyrights | Apr 25 14:42 |
| schestowitz | and then trademarks | Apr 25 14:42 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-bianet.org | Defense Ministers of Turkey, Russia, Syria and Iran to meet in Moscow - english | Apr 25 14:44 | |
| martylake | Phrased differently then: how come LLM are not new, but they werent accessible before? | Apr 25 14:45 |
| schestowitz | they are a generation | Apr 25 14:46 |
| schestowitz | on top of something old | Apr 25 14:46 |
| schestowitz | that nobody bothered with much | Apr 25 14:46 |

| schestowitz | <schestowitz> it wasn't done much before as: | Apr 25 14:47 |

| schestowitz | <schestowitz> 2) no business model (See (1)) | Apr 25 14:47 |
| schestowitz | <schestowitz> 3) it's useless | Apr 25 14:47 |
| schestowitz | all 3 are still applicable | Apr 25 14:47 |
| schestowitz | but that helps Mcirosoft distract | Apr 25 14:47 |

| schestowitz | could get a catch-all toolbox | Apr 25 14:54 |
| schestowitz | and configure it | Apr 25 14:54 |
| schestowitz | scraping is a very widespread and generic task | Apr 25 14:54 |
| schestowitz | like global REP | Apr 25 14:54 |
| martylake | schestowitz: this failed too, because pages to be scrapped needed pagination (remember, friend it not computer-litterate) | Apr 25 14:54 |

| schestowitz | not yet | Apr 25 14:54 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.businessinsider.com | How First Republic Bank's Strategy of Low-Rate Mortgages Backfired | Apr 25 23:01 | |
| DaemonFC | "First Republic handed out billions in ultra-low-rate mortgages to the wealthy. It backfired horribly." | Apr 25 23:01 |
| DaemonFC | "The bank said Monday that it will cut as much as 25% of staff, and is pursuing strategic options after revealing that deposits plunged by more than $100 billion in the first three months of the year. | Apr 25 23:02 |
| DaemonFC | That sent the stock as much as 48% lower on the day, with First Republic now down 93% for the year to date. Gillian Tan and Matthew Monks at Bloomberg subsequently reported that the bank is exploring an asset sale in the range of $50 billion to $100 billion." | Apr 25 23:02 |
| *DaemonFC giggles in a high pitch | Apr 25 23:03 | |
| DaemonFC | First Republic is going under and they're probably going to take the $30 billion from Chase with them. | Apr 25 23:03 |
| DaemonFC | "One of the causes of First Republic's troubles is a strategy to woo rich clients with huge mortgages that offer sweet terms, as detailed in this story from Noah Buhayar, Jennifer Surane, Max Reyes, and Ann Choi at Bloomberg. | Apr 25 23:04 |
| DaemonFC | In particular, First Republic would offer interest-only mortgages, where the borrower didn't have to pay back any principal for the first decade of the loan. In 2020 and 2021, it extended close to $20 billion of these loans in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York alone, per Bloomberg's analysis." | Apr 25 23:04 |
| DaemonFC | "The quality of these loans isn't in question, as the borrowers are extremely safe bets." | Apr 25 23:06 |
| DaemonFC | Very safe bets, works in "tech", tech having severe layoffs. | Apr 25 23:07 |
| DaemonFC | Very safe bets. | Apr 25 23:07 |
| DaemonFC | How do you write loans to tech workers who don't have jobs and some of whom are facing deportation where you can't even sue them? | Apr 25 23:08 |

| DaemonFC | "Wealthy clients can easily move their deposits away from First Republic while keeping their mortgage with the firm, which creates a liquidity challenge. | Apr 25 23:09 |
| DaemonFC | And these loans are hard to sell to other lenders, given Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are limited to only purchasing mortgages up to just over $1 million. Should they successfully sell, it would also create a hole in First Republic's balance sheet. The bank would be forced to recognize the current value of these loans, and what are currently unrealized losses could suddenly wipe out the bank's capital." | Apr 25 23:09 |

| DaemonFC | "I'm not doing this to gamble. I'm doing this to make money," he said. "So I'm not really interested in playing the game of, 'Oh, maybe I'll do this person's delivery for a guaranteed $2.50. Maybe it might be more.' I don't play that game. And most people don't like to play that game. That's what results and their order's not getting picked up, or it takes awhile for them to get their food." | Apr 25 23:50 |
