Both existing options suck. Good riddance.

Dear college student capitalizing on this for pizza money, I'm gonna use your app anyway from halfway across the county, and so will others.

That pizza is gonna come with a Ferrari, but your desktop is gonna melt.

Get plenty of sleep, don't take any of it too seriously, and don't accept the first buy-out offer.

Edit: And for Uber and Lyft, I'll just point to the sign, again:

"If you can't afford to pay a living wage in the community your're operating in, your company is a ponzi scheme."

For any shareholders reading along: "Sell Sell! Sell! You made a bad bet. Get your nickels out before they turn into pennies."
