    I chose the thug life, not the wagon life.

    Get you someone who loves you the way this man loves Skodas.

    I don’t know of any VC that’s sold/liquidated their Uber or Lyft shares in a significant way; I know employees who were paid in stock options have been dipping out in waves, though. All the major VCs are seeing unrealized loses in Uber and Lyft continue to grow - take that for what you will, given that their valuation

    But you realize that’s not the norm, like at all - right ? Even less so if you bought them brand new.

    I goofed. Second sentence should read “should be paying far **more** than what Uber and Lyft end up charging”

    Yes it does. When riders are charged $5 on a ride that should cost $15-20, and part of that $5 goes to taxes, and platform fees (e.g. Stripe handles their payments, licensing fees for Google Maps api, Twilio or whatever telephone/messaging api they use, etc) - there’s isn’t nearly enough left over to pay the driver on

    No one buys wagons. Why is this so difficult for people to accept? No. One. Buys. Wagons.

    Most immediate solution would be to limit the amount of time a driver can be on the platform, or block them from driving once they’ve made a certain amount in a given time period.

    They’re subsidizing rides, that’s how. Riders don’t realize (or care) that - while traditional taxi cabs are definitely charging a lot for fares - what they should be paying is still far less than what Uber and Lyft end up charging them.

    +10 for the vanity plates.

    Piss off, Steve.

    Think of the drinking games.....and the Vegas bookies... 

    That Harvard would even accept those credits got me like:

    Plus, she did not choose to be born into a presidential family, why should she be paying for her dad’s bullshit? I don’t get it. Let the kid live her life and do dumb college shit.

    If news organizations wanna keep putting these stooges on tv, they need to add some sort of interactive lie-counter for the rest of us.

    She’s gone to private schools all her life so I’m guessing family money/legacy came into play. Also she transferred in from UMiami Law...maybe it’s easier to transfer somehow?

    To be fair: there’s no way she’s keeping her job if she says her boss is lying.

    “I was walking by pushing a vacuum and she walked out right in front of me,” a third-year student, Zach Lassen, told the paper.

    “A lot higher” understatement of the century lol.
