You’re correct. My mistake. I should have referenced and was working off what is a faulty memory, but 73-23 in a Republcan controlled 105th Senate is still impressive given today’s hyper-partisanism, even though it was not unanimous.

To be fair, this isn’t presented as a well researched article. It has all the intellectual merit of a screeching child.

I look forward to the new ESPN documentary series 0 for 30.

So you handwave away his legitimate facts?

Seriously?

But protesters know that they could be, yet they still do this anyway.
They’ll block the road and prevent me and my wife from getting to a hospital while she is in labor, endangering lives, without batting an eye because they’re thoughtless jerks who only care for #1.

But you’re only looking at it from the viewpoint of the consumer. You also have to think of it from the driver’s POV. If there’s a surge-able event occurring (i.e. super high demand due to the strike of taxi cabs), yet your platform has disabled the surge, you’re now working in an environment where all the downside…

The whole “not being part of a collective” is the feature, not a bug, of being an Uber driver.

Right, so the dick thing for Uber to do would have been to INCREASE the surge. This would’ve incentivized drivers to show up at JFK. But they did the exact opposite. Again, sure... they could’ve somehow ceased operations there like cabs did. But by taking away the surge, they essentially did that.

Why is facilitating travel to and from JFK a bad thing?

I’m confused. Doesn’t suspending the Surge Pricing limit your ability to get an Uber, not help it? The whole point of the Surge Pricing is to entice drivers to head to that area and ensure that people can get rides.

“Because they have no union. They are not organized. And therefore they are at the mercy of their company.”

Not necessarily. Totally depends where the fracking is happening. Some fields are cheaper that others. PA fields might be too expensive and not producing enough right now. In CO, drillers are demanding to put new drilling rigs right next to neighborhoods. And they have the backing of the Democrat Governor. Oh,…

No snark. In a year-long period where we’ve publicly fawned over sports figures (Mort, Sager, etc) battling cancer, I’m in total awe of someone like Andrews has had to deal with cancer AND an overly public trial with quiet grace and dignity. She’s someone everyone should admire and respect, for so many reasons

Why is everyone so eager to mirror the actions of their opponents?

White people must be unseen and unheard unless somebody says its ok. If they do speak up, they are “privileged” or worse.

I don’t think anyone is saying that. Just that the left does have a habit of being way better at being AGAINST something than at being united FOR anything.

Organize my people? As though as a white woman, all other white women are my people? Not only is that statement is not in any way helpful to the progressive cause (as white women are not given magical powers to convince the worst of white society to change their minds), it also serves to create a false division…

I think we made it maybe a solid 24 hours past one of, if not the largest protest movements before we entered the “well actually” phase where the left fractures along rifts of who is more/less “liberal”.

I continue to be amused by the left’s unfailing habit of eating itself.
