The problem is that companies like Uber and Lyft want it both ways. They want to call their people independent contractors, since they don’t have to offer benefits or pay payroll tax; but they also want to have full control over those people, including dictating how much they can charge.

There is no nuance to it. Uber and Lyft set the prices in their “Marketplace.” If the drivers are independent then Uber and Lyft are guilty of price fixing. If they aren’t price fixing then the drivers MUST be employees. You can’t have it both ways. 

“My daily commute is 600 miles each way through rocky terrain that requires a foot of ground clearance and also I need to haul two motorcycles everywhere I go. I live in a remote area of the Yukon Territories and there is no electricity near me. This is why EVs are useless and no one should care about them until they…

Rejected by the Naval Academy before his accident.... Huh... The only way that happens is failing the psyche evaluation. Let me guess, the morality questions were a bit too difficult for the gun-loving Christian? Well, psychopaths and sociopaths always either go into politics or the police force when they get rejected…

80% more pollution or 100% of these chili dog farts.

Correct headline: idling in traffic with your windows down in developing countries with minimal pollution controls increases your exposure to pollution (which may or may not be a meaningful increase that has health outcomes because we didn’t test that).

I thought the same thing when I read about having to keep a vehicle in order to offset the $2k he lost getting it fixed. That’s not how money works, it’s gone.

FIFY

If you are going to be the worst neighbor in the universe and drive the whole neighborhood’s property values down by turning yours into a junkyard, live in a neighborhood with no HOA! Then nobody can say shit to you.

Why does everyone keep thinking “because this idea doesn’t work for where I personally live at this moment in time, it sucks”? This isn’t about you and your living outside some shithole city in New England (Hartford, I’m guessing?). It’s about actually building better communities, and better options for people to…

McEnany missed a genuine opportunity to ask real questions about PAW Patrol, like why is the entire municipality run by y dogs, where’s Ryder’s parents, why isn’t he in school, who’s paying for all that stuff.

I’d rather we ditch cities.

I love cars and I enjoy driving, but sitting in traffic taking 40 minutes to get home from work isn’t driving.

In that case I’d assume single set of rims and just loves the track, why go straight to poser? Jack on the back of an overlander or roof on a weekday, I assume lazy or short enough to make removal a pain. Personally I’d take it off because I’m aggressive on empty on ramps but other people would rather take it easy on…

Da fuq you talking about.  No snow?  it’s still got full time AWD.  A set of cheap snow tires on some steelies and this thing will still rip through a foot of fresh pow.  Certainly sufficiently capable for any conditions you’d find on the road short of the northern rockies.

Having driven many sporty wagons from an Audi S2 to a BMW M5. May I say that if you arent going for two door sports car a wagon is the way to go. compared to a sedan you loose 0.01% of real world performance for 90% more practicality. Now if we are arguing that sporty SUVs are pointless then we might have more common…

Dodge drivers are already the most obnoxious people on the planet. Doesn’t matter what type of vehicle - ram, charger, challenger, they’re all exclusively driven by shrimp-dick wannabe tough guys. Every time you see a lifted, coal-rolling pickup swerving between lanes erratically, it’s a dodge. Every time someone revs…

I’m disappointed that those are spares in the bed, I thought from the thumbnail that they were jump seats.

One thing that gets on my nerves is women who won't let other women eat in peace. The ones that look at your plate always and watch everyone eat. If you have a salad, they shit on you for eating just a salad. If you eat pizza, they give you shit for eating pizza. "Are you really going to eat that greasy thing? Really,…
