'Last Week Tonight' examines food delivery apps

I haven't featured John Oliver on this blog since John Oliver examines student loans for Wayback Wednesday. That was more than a month ago, so I'm making up for lost time by sharing the most viewed video from Last Week Tonight with John Oliver this year since the one I embedded in Boeing gets the John Oliver treatment on 'Last Week Tonight', Food Delivery Apps.

John Oliver discusses food delivery apps, how they are both helping and harming restaurants and workers, and why starting an orphanage definitely should not be your side hustle.

Welcome to a lasting effect of the pandemic for good and ill. As I first wrote four years ago, "Note that Stephanie Ruhle segued into retail and the transition from brick-and-mortar job losses into job opportunities in online ordering and delivery. The response to the coronavirus pandemic is accelerating existing trends." Using food delivery apps is one of them. Now we have to adjust to the new normal that includes them, such as making sure we tip adequately.

Stay tuned for this election cycle's version of marching music for the Maryland, Nebraska, and West Virginia Presidential Primaries, followed by the late night talk show hosts on Michael Cohen's testimony at Trump's hush money trial.
