Imagine being a franchise owner and thinking corporate has your best interest at heart…

After AI replaces workers, why would corporate bother with franchises instead of running them their selves?

The goal is always concentration of wealth, and “the line” isn’t where people expect it will be. Franchise owners are big fish in small ponds a lot of the time, they don’t understand they’re on the chopping block after workers.,

Uber capitalism will “streamline” everything so only a very small amount of people are able to make money

This doesn’t sound like it has anything to do with AI, but rather a Doordash integration that gave contractors transparency into order statuses. Which they then exploited to optimize efficiency for themselves.
