Pretty wild that Stormfront can’t find a single fucking grammar nazi.

What was Hillary’s great plan for helping these people? I don’t recall hearing one. All I heard was her referring to them as “deplorables” for supporting the candidate that wasn’t her. If you are in middle America and seeing things go to shit and your alternatives are either to elect a career politician from same…

Your last paragraph is sad to me. The democratic party is supposed to be the economic left party. These are economically disadvantaged workers who are in need of education and wealth redistribution. They tried to unionize in the past, so they are no friend to big labor. They are desperate and poor. No matter where…

They have been condescended to, called racist and sexist for the last 8 years. Weird they didn’t fall in line with the liberals.

So you only work in absolutes. Relativism has no place in the work force? Got it.

I’m not even sure about the patronizing part. Aside from Hamilton’s side notes it comes off a reminder to employers, whom get paid from his bank account. It’s a dildo message I would toss in the trash, but the sensitivity of some left leaning folk is astounding. Is this really that offensive?

If every billionaire pooled his or her wealth, it would equal $5.4 trillion. Our deficit is somewhere around $18 trillion. That’s why.

I agree that this guy is a dick. And this letter is patronizing bull crap. But can we stop pretending that a real alternative is for rich people to give up all of their money?

Isn’t Starbucks one of the best case scenarios for lower wage workers? It was my understanding that they have been offering benefits and stuff for years before anyone gave that to service industry workers.

Except that Ted is great and you are wrong. And guess what? The Caps don’t suck. The MCI/Verizon Center revitalized that area of DC when the Caps and Bullets were moved to DC from Maryland and made DC tons of money. Meanwhile the Nationals park cost the city millions and hasn’t done a whole lot for the city and Dan…

Though the District did retroactively give the Ownership group some tax breaks because, unlike so many other team owners, they really did put up their own money and the <strike>MCI</strike> Verizon Center really was a stadium that acted as an anchor for genuine Urban Renewal (like, it really did develop really nicely…

Nonsense. This is a sign that you’re being brainwashed by The Man (TM), or something. Wake up sheeple, etc etc etc.

The author of this article, in particular, is extremely anti-Uber and extremely anti-capitalism. He’s a shithead.

It’s a Hamilton Nolan article.

Hey, if you do not like it, don’t do it. I have a full time job, but I have a horrible case of insomnia. I drive Uber as a way to kill time in the wee hours of the morning, usually spent picking up drunks. It is not bad. Most of the people (all of them actually) that I know that drive Uber do it as a side gig, not…

Uber drivers have absolutely no obligation to the company that “employs” them either. I’m amazed at how up in arms people are about Uber. Their workers are absolutely the definition of independent contractors.

Hamilton believes every worker should be in a union, he doesn’t get that not all jobs nor careers need or even want a union. The main draw of being an uber driver is the independence to set your own hours. The contractor model works great for this environment. since they are providing their own vehicles working…

Wow. Who are these Uber drivers who “wish to maintain their independent status,” rather than wishing for, say, higher pay and health insurance?

Me. This is a second job for me. I like being an independent contractor and the freedom that provides me. If I don’t feel I’m being paid what I should, I don’t have to work…

This is an ironic article being that Uber wouldn’t even exist today in most cities if it wasn’t for the greedy and controlling cab unions.

If they were employees, they could unionize and demand workplace protections and health care benefits and all of the other things that our system provides to employees.
