What’s a competitor? If they’re really independent contractors, and not employees, each driver is competing with the other driver, aren’t they? If that’s true, a lot independent contractors are all agreeing to a price for a service is price fixing.

Correct, but through their actions they’re engaged in price fixing since Uber determines the price. Alternatively, all the drivers are engaged in price fixing since they are collectively deciding what the going rate is.

From what I can tell, their business model is twofold: 

The premise of their business model is based on a Schroeder’s labor model.

Somewhat serious question: Are former Trump administration people getting ‘good’ jobs after their tenure? Typically, ex-GOP administration folks just go the PAC, think tank or professor route. But it seems these people either lack the smarts, or are so tied to Trump, that they don’t have as many job opportunities.

*they’re (not their) biased.

No. Trump has shown the anti-intellectualism and fact nihilism is thriving. Something doesn’t fit your narrative? Claim its fake, claim their biased, claim that they’re trying to make money, or find another “expert” who is either not an expert or is explicitly paid to be denier.

I’m guessing her testimony and answers to questions are carefully constructed to be CYA for both her and Trump. If she gets into any corners, it’s “I don’t recall” or “executive privilege.” They’re giving up some underling to give the appearance of cooperation and to tire out the public’s attention to this.

Sadly- African Americans voted for Republicans in greater numbers than the previous election. Granted, it’s still single digits, but enough to give them bragging rights about it.  

We were driving to FL from the Midwest, and it was northern Georgia because I remember crossing the state line and we reached Atlanta a few hours later. It was 20 years ago and about 3 or 4 a.m., so that’s about the best I can give you.

Went to a Waffle House in a very small town with a interracial couple during a road trip. The waitress came up to us and said, “this is God’s country” and refused to serve us. This was 1999.

Ugh. Sorry, I know Family Guy pretty well, so I’m especially ashamed.

True, but never underestimate white people’s ability to vote against their interests when you tell them about the scary brown people.

I’m going to assume this is a joke and that you have good intentions. He is Jewish- original name is John Leibowitz.

And then they do what with them? I guess they just hold on to them for the inevitable multiple marauders coming into their suburban home? Government uprising? Or, they engage in a ‘private sale’ where no background checks are required?

Given that Trump has/will have a huge warchest, it makes sense to make Dems defend multiple states, Even if they ultimately lose. Dems will also spend a lot on primaries, which will leave a lot less budget for the main event.

Good point, but how motivated are they? 

The problem is that it assumes that it’s purely sexual in nature and not psychological. The reality is that there’s some f*cked up connection between the two and taking away their “appetite” might not stop them if they also get a psychological high as well. 

Sadly- many others are saying that given the economy is doing relatively well, he is likely to be re-elected.

Do gun nuts really buy even more guns in anticipation that the evil liberals are going to try take them away? What’s the Venn diagram of those who have “economic anxiety?”
