Date: September 2nd, 2014 1:29 PM Author: Sick library antidepressant drug Well in my experience Uber is world's better than a cab. They're not even on the same planet as far as user experience. Blacklisting credit cards? Probably because these broke shitlibs didn't pay and got them closed.
About two weeks ago I was on the PATH from WTC to Newark and the service shut off in jersey city. Something with the track between the stops. They suspended service and kicked everyone off the train. The cabbies wanted $30 a person and 4 people at a time to take people to Newark. So the idea that cabbies are some honest salt of the earth folk, like most shitlib myths, is utter nonsense. They would happily have left people stranded there. |

Date: September 2nd, 2014 1:24 PM Author: twisted sinister ceo quadroon I've been posting about this for a while. All these SHITLIBS love to talk about how much they LURRRVVVEEE Uber, but then they're conflicted because it doesn't match what their lib overlords are telling them.
People who criticize Uber's methods are hilarious. Lib politicians, lib-popular companies like Apple, in many examples when liberalism + capitalism/competition mix, they get results similar to Uber. It's absurd how they single out Uber. All hypocrites. |

Date: September 2nd, 2014 1:32 PM Author: Buck-toothed rambunctious theater stage Shitlibs never not whining about shit not being fair or okay.
If Uber is engaging in questionable tactics, Lyft can simply file a temporary restraining order in federal court. The side dialogue about capitalism and evil corporations is fucking stupid. Especially when the author isn't impacted by Uber one fucking bit, except for getting cheaper/better car service. Lol, what a piece of shit article. |

Date: September 2nd, 2014 2:21 PM Author: confused magenta institution > Existing taxi drivers are worried that they can’t compete against part-timers. What happens when everyone is a part-timer? Is a larger pool of drivers engaged in competition so fierce that no one can make a living wage a better solution than a smaller pool of drivers who can pay the rent?
Economic historians generally dismiss the Luddite movement by noting that the Industrial Revolution, while initially causing economic harm to skilled artisans, ended up lifting vast sectors of the world’s population out of abject poverty. The net result: more jobs and the rise of the middle class.
But there is growing concern that the current phase of technological progress is a different animal. The profits from new technological innovation are clearly not being distributed equally. This time around, it’s not clear at all that the base is broadening. Globalization and the digital revolution have us competing against each other and machines. It’s getting harder to make a living, not easier.

Basically, this whole thing just reads as a thinly veiled (or maybe not even veiled) gripe by a pro-unionist frustrated that its shitty unionized service industry is being pwn3d by a more efficiently run company that actually delivers quality service to customers. |
