And you think the savings of not having a driver will be passed to the consumer? LOLOLOLOLOL what country do you think this is?

Desperation, plus these services will take nearly anybody, and there’s no boss hovering.

Because a job is a job? I mean what is the percentage of Uber drivers that have to vs the ones that want to? It’s probably disproportionately weighted in favor of “fuck it’s all I could get”. Who enjoys putting up with drunk slobs?

Because people are bad at budgeting. They aren’t doing the math to see what they’re actually making.

Marvel’s worried about their new movie opening slightly lower than their last movie, which will be one of the biggest of all time?

Just pointing out that all of these arguments would be completely irrelevant if they had built out the network they were paid to build. They have gotten hundreds of billions in various forms to build a fiber network for the country for the last 2 decades and... well, our average speed is, what, 19Mbps? Compared to the…

Internet fast lanes could save lives!!! ***and make us fat stacks of cash***

Not to mention (I refuse to reply to OP) that by driving them underground, it also makes them harder to recruit new people. I’m copy-pasting a comment I read and really enjoyed from a Polygon article about Discord shutting down white supremacist servers, but it’s applicable here too:

They knew that they couldn’t storm Jabba’s palace, so the plan was to get everyone inside the palace and take it down.

I don’t think ATT would *need* fast and slow lanes if they’d been properly investing in their infrastructure all along.

Ahh, yes. The whole “Think of the children!” variety of deflection and topic manipulation. As timeless as politics itself.

So then let’s hold public safety hostage and then screw over those who can’t afford preferential treatment?

don’t receive it when somebody threatens you with ‘Everybody’s getting the flu!’

A hospital in my area set up an ED tent in their parking lot to triage the number of folks coming in with flu emergencies. This is an enormous hospital, one of those ones that spans blocks. My husband and I both had the flu this year (he got the shot early, I am getting it next week) and it was so miserable. I regret…

If it wasnt religion, it would be snake oil, or conspiracy theories, or something else. Or just general crazy. Religion didnt create people like this - its just that parts of it have gotten really good at harnessing their collective need to be idiotic for their own evil ends.

My question for evangelicals:
