You’re right about the economic downturn bit, but I rent an apartment and have plenty of debt thanks to my car.

Not all trades have unions or need apprenticeships, I’m not part of one and I am not an apprentice. The trade industry is currently starved of employees, so it is remarkably easy to find a job in trade, they’ll take anyone willing to learn.

No, you misunderstood, I make double the minimum wage in my area, I was trying to say that based on the pay grade in my state, I make double what they do. But that is an interesting position you’re in. I’ve got no interest in defending Uber, I think the business has no right to exist, I’ve just got even less interest…

*Chooses to make a side gig their main source of income*

Honestly. I’ve never even considered uber, but I might take a few trips today

“I made this ‘job’ that’s advertised and intended to be a side gig into my only source of income and it doesn’t make me enough money and that’s Uber’s fault”

No, he’s asking people to not let the bad apples ruin the bunch. Just like every other group should be treated.

It’s a bumber that people drive like how he describes

Road rallies are dictated by times and if you get somewhere too fast, you don’t get any points for that, so you’re supposed to try and most accurately maintain speed limits (times between checkpoints are calculated using the speed limit of the roads they drive on, so holding the speed limit will give you the best…
