Since Uber and Lyft entered the market, drivers have worked in an almost completely unregulated work environment with often very low wages and essentially no workers’ rights.

Maybe because its ratings collapsed and most true fans (e.g. this site’s readers) dropped it 5-6 years ago?
We’ve covered the ambition & success of the Arrowverse, but there’s very little mention of the epic messes it produced. The crossover events were great, but why on earth wouldn’t, say, Kara fly to Central City in mere seconds to help with the speedsters? The writers were inconsistent with Barry’s exact speed, but…
This is a legitimately great take on the many wonders of the Arrowverse. I can’t think of any other set of TV shows that’s ever morphed to such an extreme degree – from a character who’s basically a Batman ripoff (and the writers wisely had Barry give Ollie some ribbing over it on the crossover ep where they…
not even a single mention of brie larson or alan richson!
Dom and company wiped Hernan out when they memorably stole his hotel-sized vault in Buenos Aires by dragging it away behind their cars. Dom then used it to bash the man and his mercenary armies to death on a freeway that does not exist, in a scene that arguably launched the demented lunacy phase of the Fast franchise
To comment on one part here:
The 911 Turbo, GTR and C7Z06 were all better performance and more exciting for the same price or less.
Anybody spending almost $200K on a vehicle is buying off pure emotion.
“Fast & Furious” is “inarguably the worst” of the series? WTAF?!? I’ll happily argue that, and moreover I’d argue the opposite: it’s one of the best. It’s stripped down & back to basics, and has arguably the best opening sequence of the entire series. (Its biggest flaw was killing off Letty, or so we thought.) Also,…
Wow, great catch! I thought I caught everything, but I somehow missed that one – which is particularly odd given that I specifically noted how unusual it was to see a 911 in a F&F movie. Except I forgot the only other time they’ve featured one: “Fast Five.”
I’ve done nothing wrong...
Here’s just a partial list of the does-not-compute parts of the finale:
Somewhat of a nitpick—are we supposed to believe that William, first on an old pickup truck and then a freaking horse, beat Charlotte to the dam site?
I’m probably dating myself here, but if we’re going old-school, I’d argue the worst vehicular product placements to date were the trio of Ford subcompacts used on the original “Charlie’s Angels” series (by the three Angels): a Mustang II, a Mustang “Cobra” (in reality a gussied-up Mustang II with a hatchback) and ...…
Yeah, but it’s an origin story of his first mission as a 00, and he picks up the legendary DB5 barely 15 minutes later (in terms of screen time) after winning it in a poker game.
I’d give this one a pass if only because nearly all of said GMs – excepting the CTS – were total pieces of garbage & readily worth the sacrifice. They would’ve otherwise ended up getting sold to some rental car agency as leftovers, for the most part, also excepting a Tahoe or two that didn’t totally suck.
Last year, Toyota moved about 6,800 units. It’s not clear if people who wanted the manual Supra simply gave up on waiting and moved onto either a different car altogether or just settled for an automatic Supra.
I certainly don’t disagree about Uber’s greed, but letting drivers set their own rates is simply unworkable from the consumer’s end – which we (as a society) established nearly 80 years ago when the first taxicabs started to emerge in NYC. (It’s been tried by taxis in various cities since then, always with disastrous…
Might’ve helped to mention that there’s already an extant case history involving drivers seeking reclassification. The NLRB ruled in favor of drivers, only to have their opinion overturned by the D.C. Circuit.
