Assault charges (at least in California and I would imagine most other places) apply any time there is an attempt to touch someone in an offensive manner. Whether or not someone is physically injured is irrelevant. If you spit on someone or throw a drink in their face, that’s assault.

An Agriculture Department spokesperson told the New York Daily News that “USDA did not intentionally announce this proposed rule” on the same day.
Skepticism is always good. I wouldn’t assume someone is lying but I also would not assume that they are telling the truth.
Legally, the two are very different. It is similar to the difference between me lying and saying I am a Navy SEAL to pick up chicks and impress drunks at a bar and me lying and saying that I am a Navy SEAL to get Veterans’ benefits.
At every one I have been to in the last few years, there is a seperate line for online pickup and customer service. You get the same group of folks doing both though, so if it is busy, you still might be waiting around for a while.
True in California, unless your vehicle has hazardous noise levels in the cabin.
Um, Uber has lost in court or settled quite a bit. Sometimes, when they are confronted, rather than conform to the laws they just pull out of the market altogether.
That’s exactly the problem. I don’t know which Uber drivers are properly licensed and which are not because Uber doesn’t care enough about my safety or the safety of its drivers or the safety of pedestrians, bicyclists, and other motorists to follow the laws of the State it is headquartered in.
Luckily for us, the entire command and control system for the nuclear arsenal has absolutely no safeguards in it to prevent the President from ordering a nuclear launch, other than relying on whoever happens to be with the President at the time deciding to refuse to carry out his orders.
The reason is because we had them first. The whole idea of nuclear non-proliferation is that there was never any chance that the US and USSR would give up their nukes, but at least we could prevent their spread to smaller, less stable countries.
I’m pretty sure that most Uber drivers (at least, the ones driving regular cars) do not possess a commercial drivers license such as a Class A, B, or Chauffeur’s Endorsement, which means they are not licensed to provide commercial car service.
I mean, by that line of reasoning, we would still have children working 80 hours a week down in the coal mines. We live in a society. Businesses operate according to the rules that the people in that society have opted to create for the common good.
Everything Uber does is a delaying tactic. They have to know that this law suit is a Hail Marry. I think the one real thing we have all realized is that Uber just doesn’t have a realistic plan to continue to exist as a business and they are kicking the can down the road for as long as they can until they either think…
-Potential Drivers have option to earn income with very small barriers of entry.
If most Uber drivers really had good quantitative analytical skills, why would they be driving full time for Uber?
As the United States has transitioned from a manufacturing economy to a service economy, many middle class jobs that do not require a college degree have disappeared, to be replaced with more skilled jobs that do require more education. This has resulted in more people going to college.
That’s because almost everything that is not discretionary spending is pretty much the government equivalent of an employer-provided 401K and Health Savings Account. Citizens get out of it more or less what they put into it. When a business presents a budget, they don’t count the money that their employees spent on…
We don’t spend more on social spending by any reasonable sense of the term. Firstly, if you look at our social spending as a percentage of our GDP, the US comes in around number 20, behind most, but not all, wealthy nations.
Yup, I kind of feel like the internet probably started going downhill when the World Wide Web was released to the public in the early 90s.
