Texas is insane. The people there drive like literal insane people. They don’t understand right of way, they don’t understand looking before you do something. The police also barely enforce traffic laws. This is backed up by someone working insurance. It’s just a never-ending stream of people aggressively merging into…

And with terms and conditions set by the companies, not the “independent contractors”

“If you get rid of slavery, then all the slaves will starve!”

“Regulatory suicide” is the type of dipshit catchphrase college libertarians try to use as a debate gotcha.

Because if there is a demand for the services that Lyft and Uber provide, then when they crash and burn for having a shitty unprofitable business model, someone else will step in and make it work without attempting to evade labor laws, and the drivers can work for whoever that is. Free market.

I was going to say it’s been years since MADD was about ending DWI. 

The fact that U/L’s business model is fundamentally unsustainable is not a particularly compelling argument for allowing them to exploit their workers to help make up the difference.

Tell me about it.  Totally crazy and I’m a grammar nerd and minored in English in college.  If it’s hard for me to understand, who knows what many many others thought when reading and trying to basically translate it into sense thought

Where “regulatory suicide” = actually enforcing existing labor law, instead of letting techbros abuse loopholes in the law to reduce labor costs.

Fuck me, and Ballotpedia isn’t any help either

Never forget that MADD has been run by lawyers for over a decade and the original founding mothers were kick out long ago, so fuck whatever they say about anything these days.

There’s been a Yes on 22 ad that has Mothers Against Drunk Driving say that Uber/Lyft saves lives and I’m uniquely pissed off about this ad, more than most.

Wh9 the hell is Lawrence Hodge?

Renting a car isn’t great either. When I lived in NYC, it was often literally cheaper to fly across the country than to rent a car. You can pay well over $100/day for a basic economy car if renting in Manhattan/Brooklyn on a summer weekend. In many cases, you really do need to buy the insurance because you don’t have…

They didn’t “miss” something the person didn’t ask for. 

But not California, which just allows the car to be driven with no tags at all. CA has approved a law to start requiring them next year though

Is California the only state left where we don’t get a license plate right away?

we live in a world where people are complaining about their new car’s problems in a direct line to the company’s CEO.

I was joking before, but now I am just shaking my head...

They use a product like Gorilla glue on the interior, my office manager has a new model 3 and you can see where they used to much and it squished out of the interior trim and no one bothered to wipe it up.
