The agent didn’t do anything wrong though. The child has a different last name than the mother and those rules are in place to keep abductions from happening. Imagine if she had let an abductor through because she didn’t want to be seen as racist?

Don’t worry. The current administration will soon take notice and will immediately replace whomever is responsible for this erroneous productivity with someone who is comically unqualified.

That’s not rhetorical. Uber is illegal in most countries for a reason. I’m glad us Germans didn’t fall for this. And lives are more important than profits. So, no thank you, robot cars

Not a good analogy. Uber is a tech company developing new tech. Questions should be asked but this article saying Uber has no business here is stupid.

My wife is currently pregnant, and has been taking Lyft to and from work as it’s easier for her than taking the subway. The Lyft bill has been running her about $1,200 per month. However, since all of her rides cost more than $15 (and she’s taking ten of them per work week), I don’t know how this would be of use for…

It shows it’s an important movie if you still think it’s ok to bash and discriminate poly people. But you wouldn’t dare to say the same thing about a gay couple anymore.

I was thinking of it like performance reviews I receive and give at work.

Wow, sounds like you haven’t been in school in the past two decades! (Not a sarcastic remark about you, a sarcastic remark about other people’s entitled mentality). Now, if you pretty much do what is asked of you in school, you are entitled to an A. If not, you are entitled to a B. Used to be where C was doing all…

People don’t really pay attention even when things are labeled. Another poster pointed it that it probably should be thumbs up/thumbs down - everything was fine/there were issues.

Should it be “exceeded expectations?” Or should it be, “There’s nothing wrong”? There needs to be clear labelling because I have a feeling a lot of people (like you) feel five-stars should be special. Whereas people like me feel five-stars is the default because it’s imaginary currency and doesn’t cost me anything to…

Because not how a normal ratings scale works, even though it’s how Uber wants you to use it and grades it’s drivers. If ‘does what is expected’ is the top of scale, how do you point out or recognize someone who has exceeded your expectations? I agree with what another commenter pointed out, thumbs up/thumbs down would…

If they did 100% of the job you asked why wouldn’t you give them 100% of the stars?

I rate drivers universally 5 stars, unless there was something actually wrong that prevented me from getting to where I’m going (like getting lost) or putting me in danger (like running red lights), then it’s no rating at all, and I file a complaint.

Someone else has already pointed out what Uber expects as a rating.

By rating a driver 3 stars based on “meeting” your expectations, you are sabotaging that driver’s ability to get riders in the future...and putting their job in jeopardy. 4-5 stars should be given for meeting expectations. Give a tip or a comment or compliment in the app if they go above and beyond.

Here’s the problem : To drive (and to continue driving) on Uber, you need to maintain a 4.6 star rating. So a 3 star rating is actually bad. And for some reason Uber weighs bad reviews heavily on your score.

He (and his wife!) have basically admitted that the intention originally was just to get his message out there, but now he is dead serious about winning. And I believe that; he’s hired a lot of people and taken in a lot of money. Unlike a lot of people who run for President, Bernie likes being a Senator and probably…

He’s just not THAT much of a Socialist. It’s kind of like the guy wearing the Grateful Dead shirt at the mall is a “Libertarian” for that one issue of drug legislation.

But the whole point is that democratic socialism != socialism. It’s confusing because both use the word “socialism,” but they are different things entirely.
