Caps on Pricing - Uber, DoorDash, etc Sue
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on September 11, 2021, 5:08 PMIt does not sound like US but it seems even delivering food is becoming an utility with caps on pricing: "Upping the ante with regulators, Uber, DoorDash and Grubhub have sued New York City over the caps on commissions that the companies can charge to deliver food. But the city, which made permanent a 23% cap last month, says it will keep the limit and explore further regulation of the online services that exploded as people stayed home during the pandemic. Now that restaurants have reopened and the sense of a public health emergency has receded somewhat, the companies argue, there’s no need to limit what they charge and to do so represents constitutional overreach."
