Exactly! And I would expect taxi unions from different regions to generally cooperate to build a network of customers.

I think federation makes it easier for customers to circulate between regions and find providers for regions that their original platform doesn't cover, using the same client. Or by adding multiple backends to the same client. They could trigger a single request for service in multiple providers, increasing the likelihood that someone will pick it up.
The fees would be defined by the operators. If an operator starts to gouge drivers/customers, it should be easy to kick them away and start a new one since the tech barrier and app barrier are removed.
I think the people working with the fleet, and service providers are the main stakeholder and the app has to be built for them. Customers are almost a second class citizen, in this model. For mastodon/lemmy, it is built for the end user first, which makes moderation tool lag behind too much.
I generally agree. It's often used as yet another form of oppression.
But right now, capitalism and its byproducts of colonialism and imperialism are a bigger problem for a bigger number of people than religion.
The root for Palestine Israel conflict isn't religious. Religions have cohabitatedthe region for centuries in relative peace.
If you just state it's religious, you open up space for "Muslim bad", or "Christian bad" arguments. Which lead to nonsense and prosecution to specific peoples
If you use imperialism concepts, everything fits well together, and it leads to structural criticism of capitalism, and prosecution (to use the same word) against oppressive ideas and power structures, not against specific peoples.
But I can agree that imperialistic forces oppress religions that are not the same as theirs, if that's what you meant.
It's not a religious conflict. It's an imperialistic conflict.
That's exactly the point.
How much of our lives can money buy?
What if I wanted to sell my whole remaining time for the benefit of the ones I love, in the form of organs?
Should we allow money to buy anything? Or should we actually make people less desperate so that they are not willing to sacrifice all they have for peanuts?
Who makes the laws?
Do the people making the laws respect the laws they create?
They create the laws for whom?

How do you guarantee pizza ads if the jesus ministries are pushing that sweet money around, too?
Hell, no! The world is happier without the ad industry. The Internet was run basically on pure voluntary effort, and it was great. The ads didn't make it viable, it always was.
The real question is: can consent be bought?
Well, yeah. That is where payment modules would need to be developed by region.
Possibly some umbrella solution like "insert your own stripe api key".
But also you shed some light over finance management between operator and providers, thank you! I think this should provide outstanding balances, and some functionality for marking/confirming payments, but banking itself probably has to be done independently.
