What’s there to be afraid of? The plane is fine. The camera angle also makes it look worse than it is, thought that still would have been a little rough.

Exactly, because Uber has bent the system to allow themselves to not pay their employees minimum wage.

I guess transporting people doesn’t count as responsibility

It’s more the law and less supply and demand.

So driving uber can be a valid career.

But we’re not giving them a fair income. Fuck it then, why do we pay anyone anything? High School Dropout Hank over at Walmart is subhuman then, guess we should pay him $1.25 to stock my groceries while the company pockets all the profit.

It depends how you define exploit. I would say that Uber’s style of exploitation, if we want to call it that, is quite different from many other companies that pay a reasonable wage.

So because Uber doesn’t pay its drivers fairly it’s not a real job? But it’s a real company...

Taxi Driver = Real Job

It’s a bigger picture issue, but I don’t like the “if you don’t like it do something else” argument because there are many, many reasons why that can be difficult. Some are personal, others are institutional. Regardless, why is it okay that we as customers take advantage of these employees because the ‘chose’ the…

Building a business that relies on ‘hobbyists’ to generate a profit is a really crappy way to build a business.

We also seem to have decided as a society that any work is better than no work, and workers should be grateful to have any income especially if they lack experience, education, or both. Customers of these services won’t readily defend the rights of the employees they are taking advantage of because “at least they have…

How is the non-skilled part relevant when compared to other drivers in the same industry? They’re not skilled either, just experienced.

In my view it’s a little like how tips being used as justification to pay servers below minimum wage is unfair.

Well the model year would be 2018, so it’d be the 50th anniversary in that regard.

I can’t be the only car enthusiast that just doesn’t understand the point of a radar detector.

I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.

Yes.

Why is either bad for society? Who peed in your cheerios?
