Since when does a car in the middle lane have to drive at the same speed or less than a car in the left lane? So if someone is doing 45 in the left lane and I’m in the middle lane I’m not allowed to pass them? What state has that rule on the books?

No that’s not how it works. The Subaru was DRIVING on the right. Are you under the impression that whatever speed the car in the leftmost lane is driving sets the pace for all other lanes?

Actually they’re not. The percent of POC that are engaged by police and shot is much lower than the percent of white people engaged by police and shot. Do a little research on the topic before speaking.

Well, the driver was black and the kid was white. So... not sure what your point is.

The driver was black... so what’s your point?

How do you know the color of the driver?

It’s because we have the worst president in the history of the country and it’s only taken a couple weeks to realize it. Kind of a big deal, no?

Which is not their duty

Amen

Pretty sure that’s a Mercedes s550 (w221). And yeah, came to see how many people were wondering if he’s a midget. And I would like to join that group. Is he a midget?

But they’re not employees by any measure of the term. I am an employee at my company. I cannot choose to take a week off with no notice. I cannot choose to work 8pm-midnight if I want to.

So what are you implying, exactly? That driving for uber is the only option these people have? My company is hiring right now, and many others are as well. We offer medical benefits, paid time off, and entry level positions are above minimum wage. You act as though there are no alternatives which is simply not the…

Again, do some research first. If you think that a job that has literally zero qualifications (outside of being able to drive legally) is a good career choice, that’s on you. These people can also just stop driving for uber and get a different job. Their call.

Since we can’t talk to all 45 million, it’s impossible to know why they’re in the position they’re in.

Honest question here, do traditional taxi drivers go through a more comprehensive criminal background check than uber drivers?

Your math is a bit off... let’s assume the CEO of McDonald’s makes $150mm, and agrees to work for free. McDonald’s has 420,000 employees, so spreading his salary out to everyone else would be a $357/year raise, or about .17/hr for full time workers.

Get a job in retail. Do a good job. Get promoted. Make money. Not that hard.

I would suggest that if you don’t earn enough money to have kids that you not have kids. Be a responsible adult and don’t bite off more than you can chew.

Well no. It is different. I could be sitting on my couch, open up the uber app, and see if anyone nearby needs a ride (and I earn a little cash). After that trip, I head back home and finish watching better call Saul.

2 years ago I was a retail store manager. I would regularly post assistant manager jobs paying $50k/year, and supervisor jobs paying $17/hr. And more often than not, I would see between 0-2 applicants. I’m not saying there are thousands of high paying jobs in every city up for grabs, but I do find it interesting that…
