Except that most cities do regulate it. I had to get a business license, commercial drivers license, vehicle permit, and drivers ID from the city within 30 days of my first trip and have to keep those active yearly. The business license requires me to pay 1% earnings tax to renew on top of the state and federal 1099…

The driver app requires the rating before we can go to any menu options. The only way we could see the earnings on a trip before rating would be to us the desktop web page to log in and check earnings. I don’t know about other drivers but I don’t have time for that. I want to rate a person and get moving. If I’m not…

on a $10 fare the driver gets about $6. The driver then needs to set aside $2 to cover the 1099 taxes leaving them with $4 left over. Less the cost of operating their own vehicle and they are left with about $3.00 or so. Add to that the costs to keep their vehicle clean for riders who don’t care and downtime while…

Uber pays drivers of UberX only 68% of the per mile charges (in my market) On a $10 fare, the driver will see less than $6 after the fees and Uber’s cut.

Not true. Uber has no tipping built in except for their uber taxi service.

I work with the team at my company to make cars that people actually want based on market research rather than what the government tells people that they want. If people want electric cars that cost more money and pollute the environment WAY more when being built than traditional cars do in their lifetime then that’s…

Second year in college, I got a 1998 V6 Camaro....then I put a SS exhaust on it. Got beat racing a TDI. SMH what was I thinking?

Time for you idiot liberals to start paying for the 10 trillion dollars that the last idiot in chief added to the national debt.

oh...but we can’t change those emissions laws...after all, the pollution from those vehicles is causing global cooling, oh wait, global warming...nope that’s wrong too, climate change.

I had never heard one before I test drove mine....so I had the dealer start up 3 different cars before I bought the one I test drove to be sure that the engine noise was normal.

Liberals continue to come unglued about Trump. WashPo is hardly a credible news agency any longer as they have been completely soaked into the ideology of the immaculate one Barack Hussein Obama.

It’s amazing that liberals were never this mad about the things their presidents have done that have gotten Americans…

The Democrat party would not exist if the treasonous southerners had been prosecuted. Likely wouldn’t have had years of the Democrat created KKK and would likely have not had the disgusting Jim Crow laws that were created by Southern Democrats to keep blacks subjugated.

More of the “journalism” that I’ve come to expect from Gawker sites....no specifics as to which airports are affected nor anything other than half expanded details about the devices.

Just look up the thousands of pipelines scattered across the country and tell us how this pipeline is any more dangerous than the others? How many gallons of gas and oil are spilled EVERY DAY in car and truck accidents? How many gallons are leaked naturally from the underground deposits into underground water…

Do they sell pedestrian insurance for Cars and Coffee meetings along with this package?

Just drive a BMW when entering a roundabout and then screw using the indicator since they are purely optional anyway.

Yeah, but we got a street car now. ;)

KC is an awesome city. Just moved back after 4 years away. Great arts, entertainment, shopping, and the best BBQ in the country. As a crossroads city we have the best of every regional style of BBQ.

Yes...we must exploit the labor of the teachers so that schooling can be free for all. It isn’t fair that professors in colleges make hundreds of thousands of dollars while elementary teachers make mid 5 digit salaries. Doctors don’t deserve to be paid well for what they do. Everyone is entitled to their labor…

Absolutely, your are 100% correct. Those greedy rich people don’t pay their fair share. They have been holding down the populace and exploiting the labor of the masses to enrich themselves.
