I swear officer; I’m not a drug dealer. You’ve got it all wrong!

Oh, Thank Grodd. I was afraid I might make it all the way through the day without hearing another Boomer tell me “I got mine, and fuck yours.”

Move to Italy and open a business to collect $770 a month. Then wait for the local mobster to show up and demand $1000 a month tribute for the privilege of running said business. 

Because they have convinced their base that Democrats and liberals are evil and out to destroy the country.  So they can always play the “we need to do whatever it takes to stop the libs from taking over our country” card, even if that means eroding away democracy.  It’s supremely messed up, but it’s just what they…

The point that the Dems were, after being told there would be no votes taking place, attending memorial services honoring the heroes and victims of 9/11, which to be honest is what the NC Republicans should have been doing, and likely would have been doing had they not concocted this sleazy scheme.

Fine, just don't do it on the backs of exploited labor. Let the VC's carry the full burden. 

Maybe once upon a time.

The most glaring problem in the supreme court’s ABC test seems to be B -

This is far more likely to be what happens. I don’t think it will be setting their own rates, because that would be too chaotic. I foresee drivers being given all of the information about a ride - distance, fare, what they would be paid, Uber’s cut, etc, when a ride request comes through, and then being able to decide…

Maybe? But probably not re: apps appearing that pay a fair wage etc.

Real 1099ers get to negotiate their rates.

It’s a great thing. Demand goes up, meaning apps that charge the actual correct price based on fair labor cost will appear and do fine.

The most important thing is to crash out before the EU Anti Tax Avoidance Directive takes effect in 2020. Disaster capitalism (which Rees-Mogg’s father actually wrote a book on) is just icing on the cake. That’s why they had to spoil May’s “soft Brexit” deal, because it preserved the ATAD.

There is no fucking excuse for this company losing money like it does. And while initially it may have been a smart decision to subsidize rides, how in the fuck are they still doing that? Like, they don’t have to hire their drivers as employees, they don’t have to pay insurance on them, they don’t own the cars, they…

I’ll admit it, I love Uber and I love love love Lyft. What can I say? I’m a sucker for new tech. But I can’t shake this feeling that once the cab companies are thoroughly crushed Uber and Lyft will raise their prices above where the cabs used to be. I always thought tech corporations were like, kinda friendly in a…

“We voted to drive off the cliff when we were told that our parachutes would open, Slayer would be playing, and it would look hella-fucking badass when we landed at the bottom and drove off unscathed. Now that Slayer’s retiring, we couldn’t afford a parachute, and somehow managed to set ourselves on fire before we…

And that’s by design, but I believe not for the reasons most people think. It’s not that he’s afraid, per se, to fire people face-to-face. He’s a terrible shithead to people directly, face-to-face, all the time. It’s that once he cuts someone loose, as you mentioned, he doesn’t know what they’ll say or how they’ll…

So all of this nonsense because of an undercooked, non-binding referendum, essentially a fancy opinion poll, sold on a pack of lies that barely passed?  Good job, dipshits.

I could watch John Bercow all day long. Shine on you crazy diamond.
