I assure you a lot of the outrage is real, but yeah. Lyft was and is just as bad as Uber.
It's so silly that we talk about banning "politics" or that such and such is "too political" because we're at a point where there is no escape from radical restructuring. People are reacting to the new impositions and regulations the government is throwing at them.
Companies are too. Some are doing it for better reasons than others. But everyone wins and losses in politics, so the implication that "they are doing this because it is beneficial to them" rings pretty hollow to me.
If this were just anger over the silliness of promoting Thiel-backex Lyft as a counterpoint to Trumpism I'd agree. But it's not. You're mad that these companies share their policies and goals.
I don't understand that at all. You've spent more time dwelling on the imposition than it takes to delete and ignore the email.

If you think their motives have anything but dollar signs behind them, well, I wish I could live in your reality. The companies that are out there virtue signalling are doing it to drum up business, nothing more. It's you an all the other susceptible outraged citizens that allow it to work so well. Personally, I don't pick which businesses I give my money to based on emotions.
