If they really are just an app that connects rider with drivers, then I’m sure they won’t mind drivers negotiating their own rates, not being kicked off the platform for refusing rides, etc. given that’s outside the “usual course of Uber’s business.”  Strange how they want to control the drivers, but then say that…

Wow, I wasn’t even aware of that.  Yeah, he’s got the long game in mind. 

Johnson can’t wait for a no deal Brexit and will do everything in his power to crash out. Disaster economics gives him the opportunity to sell off assets, privatize, etc.

I think if your company culture is one that really views you as a cog, I would agree. I think if you’ve built up the capital and there is a culture of being supportive, I think you can mention something.

Yes, but so what. What I mean is that the response will be identical:

I’m working from home, so I’m defrosting some shrimp and going to make a quick and dirty mole sauce.  

The military are flawless. should be revered, are inherently smarter about all aspects of foreign and domestic policy, etc...unless that military person disagrees with them.

Depending on where you live, biking can be dangerous. Either you’re in a congested city, where there are cars, other bikes, drunk people on scooters, pedestrians, etc. Many cities still aren’t bike friendly. Or, you’re in a smaller city or suburbs where moms in Yukon XLs and Dudebros in Range Rovers aren’t paying…

I’m not upset at Trump for grifting, I’m upset at supporters for buying them to stick it to the libs.  They really do live in an separate reality, don’t they?

Sadly, still relevant...

Offering a settlement or a judgement is a civil procedure tool to make a side bet. It works like this:

Small solace, but remember they tried to ban violent video games first. Banning video games was their go-to move.

This is the problem. A common refrain is that “the people voted for Brexit, they need to leave.”

Fascism was spreading across Europe in the 1930s. In a few countries, the conservatives and liberals had to join forces to defeat Fascist as they knew it was undemocratic. 

I’m curious what those “other ways” are and how viable they are in schools with tight budgets?  

Sadly, Labour is like the Democrats in that they have the better ideas, but their leadership, organization and the occasional foot in mouth from their leaders makes them a less effective opposition party.

Well is Trump is a textbook narcissist (and he is), he’s absolutely using money as a way to enforce her compliance with his demands. In keeping with the diagnosis, he’s rightly convinced Tiffany that she’ll have no success without him. Not because she is/isn’t smart (as he’s told her), but that her family is a giant…

Trump Sr. believes in the “American style” suit- baggy, poorly tailored, etc., but monogramed to the ends of the earth.  Jr. largely follows that path, because of course he does. Jr. also has phantom lats, so he might get his suits cut for the size he thinks he is, not the size he really is. 

Yes, the inspections, borders, etc. become targets for the IRA/UDA, or whatever the successor is.

Perhaps he meant that they weren’t “full” members of the EU- they retained their currency and some of their market independence, but were generally aligned with the EU.
