    I couldn't have summed it all up more perfectly than that. Though, I'll add a few more:
    ▶ Doesn't help with gas.
    ▶ Only pays you just enough money to get food and pay your bills, leaving you financially stagnant.

      California, I believe, tried to offer for this to become a full-time job with benefits, bur the drivers refused, to which I'm just scratching my head. You can't complain when the thing that would've solved your problems was rejected. Of course, not all drivers rejected it, so I do feel bad for those people.

    "If a restaurant isn't on Hort Dash, it doesn't exist."
    Lmao this reminds me of Uber Eats.
    When new to Houston,
    I once got the bright idea to pull up Uber Eats to find restaurants around me and just drive to the location to slash costs of the middle man.
    Then I found out that a lot of these restaurants I've never heard of
    DON'T ACTUALLY EXIST.
    Instead it's multiple entities all operating out of the same Ghost Kitchen so there is no physical location in which you can order & dine from😂
    Nahhh. If you're not a well established restaurant with an actual location I can drive to if orders need to be resolved,
    you're not getting my money!

It's a non-answer you can give so you don't have to put in any effort doing actual learning and coming up with a real answer. The truth is a president doesn't have anywhere near the omniscient level of control over the economy you think they do. They can propose bills, sure, but those bills have to go through Congress, a political body notorious for its slowness and inefficiency due to constant infighting. *They* have far more control over what gets passed and what gets either outright denied or stalled into oblivion, and considering that they can't even agree on what time of day it is, expecting anything important to get done is hilariously naïve. Presidents aren't kings. They can't just issue a decree on whatever they please and it be so. There's a process to this.

They overinflate the cost of all the items on these restaurants, then they have the audacity to charge you another 25% of your order in misc fees, $2-8 delivery fee then they still want you to tip the driver another 20% of your order.
    Where I could get a large soda $2 and 2 sausage egg McMuffins for $5 and with tax it comes out to like $8 ish vs paying $12 for 2 McMuffins plus $4 for the soda, $3 delivery fee, $5 misc fees and then a $4 tip brings your total to around $28.
    $8 vs $28 dollars? Thats alnost 3.5x the cost!

    I tried being an Uber delivery driver, in contrast to being a pizza driver in the 90s. As the pizza driver, we'd get paid hourly, gas, and tips, going no farther than a two mile range. Uber had me drive across three major cities to just pick up orders, then, take those orders to another city no one would deliver to because it was the highest crime neighborhoods, for $16, driving around 30 miles in heavy traffic. Another thing, if you get caught by your insurance company driving as a taxi, they'll drop you, flag you, so you can't get insurance, and your state will suspend your license for not having commercial chauffers insurance or a license to be a taxi while not driving with a class A safety rated vehicle, designated by DOT. If you get in an accident, Uber will deny you the coverage they said you were under, and, their insurance is not the minimum required for commercial usage. Uber doesn't tell you all that. Good luck.
