can somebody explain this?
- austenallred 9y agoIf you have low income and need a job now there are three easy options. Uber, Lyft, and McDonalds.
- daxelrod 9y agoUber is a low-wage job that is extremely easy to get (no interview required) and has very few skills as a prerequisite. McDonalds fits those criteria as well.
- odonnellryan 9y agoNot incredibly easy to get, you do need a pretty-nice car. I make okay money and my car would not suffice.
- shimon_e 9y agoIn India, Uber helps drivers get loans to buy the cars. I've seen drivers who utilise their cars 24/7 (i.e. their brother drives at night) say they are making more than their previous office jobs. While regular drivers who aren't as economically savvy complaining about how uber scammed them to get loans that makes them slaves to the uber company.
- daxelrod 9y agoUber now has rental and leasing partnerships to make it easier for their drivers to get qualifying vehicles: https://www.uber.com/drive/new-york/get-started/car-rentals-and-leases/ https://www.uber.com/drive/new-york/get-started/car-rentals-...
