Yes, raise prices for food delivery. In DC and New York (the cities with the moped problem) there is no excuse for ordering delivery anyway, any able bodied person can easily walk to a number of restaurants. GrubHub and Uber Eats aren't even profitable businesses and they are pure middlemen.

That puts a bunch of delivery drivers out of a job and makes the government responsible for raising rates for a service that a lot of people clearly want.
Uber as a business is now profitable as it achieved market dominance via rapid expansion and selling rides at a loss before pivoting to profit over growth. I expect the same to be true of whatever food "middlemen" (as if this is something without value - Publix is a middleman between Hormel and me, and I like it that way) still remain after consolidation. Price rises will occur as part of this process.
