From the discussion

A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.

Food/grocery delivery should be a municipal service like garbage/recycling with no tipping and service provided by full time government employees with good benefits and use of city vehicles. Many, many new jobs, and a public service that everybody would love.

Surely any benefits will trickle down to employees and end users.
