In their quest for “explosive growth!” Uber and Lyft had to keep cutting fares to boost ridership numbers. They ended up devaluing the service in the eyes of the passengers, so now people don’t want to pay what the trips cost to give. They cut their own throats in their desperation for a steady flow of VC money, and…

Uber and Lyft are selling trips below cost, and their only solution is to cut driver earnings. Not become lean operators of utility companies (which is what they are), not charging what trips cost to give.

Drivers don’t want to be employees, and aren’t even asking for a minimum hourly wage (the NYC law is dumb). What drivers want is fair and honest dealings from Uber and Lyft. We don’t want regular earnings cuts (imagine if all McDonalds workers started out at $15/hour, then over time McDonalds complained that the price…

Then I guess you don’t mind being charged an inflated price instead of only being charged for the actual trip you took. Perfect Uber passenger.

Even Uber admits that driverless cars are many years away.

Let me explain the uber logic for you: As originally conceived, drivers were renting access to the app by paying Uber a set percentage of the total fare - say 25%. The drivers agreed to charge the passengers Uber’s posted rates. So the passenger was the driver’s customer, and the driver was Uber’s customer. The driver…

Hoesntly, what did Kia expect? A $50k RWD sports sedan that looks just like their $25k family sedan. And they already had experience with the K900 and Cadenza - both luxury sedan sales failures...

Of course, it always pays to shop around before even going inside a dealership. I’d never take a single dealership’s word about what is the lowest price. But if you go to 5 dealerships to try and buy the same car and not one of them will meet your price, your target price might be wrong.

Obviously the ride share workforce is too diffuse to make any strike actually hurt service. But the strike is 7-9am during the morning rush, so you might see longer waits and higher prices. The strike is really more about getting attention to the poor treatment of the drivers. It will be all over the news, and driver…

Salesmen and their managers WANT to sell cars. If you negotiate hard on a car and in the end they let you leave, you probably hit the bottom price and should’ve taken the deal. 

This. Some dealers go through the trouble of individually pricing each new car they post online, others just throw them up at MSRP. That doesn’t mean they won’t discount the vehicle just like the other dealers.

Plenty of poor white trash in CT trying to be hood rats. I’m sure her mom is proud. Very few basic white girls in CT would even know where that skate park was, let alone where to park in Hartford near it. And none would drive into Hartford alone and walk to that skate park unless they were comfortable there. Gaurantee…

My niece and nephew were “unschooled” and were allowed to eat whatever they wanted whenever they wanted. They both grew up tall and thin and have jobs. My niece even became a vegan.

There’s always the Hyundai Venue. It still has a stick and it’s pretty much the same thing as a Renegade

Ironically, these autonomous features imply the ability to pay less attention to driving, yet in reality require MORE attention from the driver than just driving manually. Automakers need to begin with the assumption that there will be NO training classes for customers to sit through, they simply won’t do it. I sold…

Considering Lyft’s recent list of ineligible cars included many cars that never existed, this inaccurate list is not surprising from these companies. Transportation companies that don’t know anything about cars. Strong.

Wow just wow. A warning label to cover for their poor engineering. Typical GM.

They still have “Trailblazer”

My Obamacare bronze plan has a $6000 deductible. Family deductibles on Obamacare can be double that. So insurance all around sucks. The premise of high deductible insurance is for people to have health savings accounts (which no one does) and then shop around for the best pricing on healthcare. The other problem is…

My point is that people were stealing the bikes, which is why Lime exited the city, and why I still see the bikes riding around even though the company no longer operates here.
