What even goes through these people's heads when they post crap like this? Do they really, genuinely, expect people to quit what is probably a secure and well paying job, because they've decided they don't like Uber any more? Have we really reached this level of arrogance?
Financial and family responsibilities be damned! I read a news article that said Uber didn't give everyone participation awards and gold stars!
What next, we ask kids to stop working at McDonalds because it's making everyone fat? Or maybe tobacco companies, because they're making everyone sick? Or BP, because they're BP? No no, just Uber because there's a trending hashtag and it's pretty hip not to like Uber now.
- DougN7 10y agoThe internet (and social justice warriors in particular) are a huge example of group think/mobs today. It's impossible to predict what the hot button topic will be in six months, but I guarantee everyone will act like it's always been an obviously major issue. Even though nobody thinks so now.
- synicalx 10y agoYou should check out a little book call 'Conspicuous Compassion' by Patrick West - he elaborates on your second point there quite eloquently. Also it's just straight up hilarious in parts, to this day I still ask people if they've ever worn a 'Brown Ribbon'.
