One Way to Fix Uber: Think Twice Before Using It
- deleted 9y ago[deleted]
- alkonaut 9y agoAlso: stop calling it "ride sharing". It's a taxi (because it drives you where you want for money). Just make sure to deregulate your local taxi market and the problem sorts itself out. Uber will be a good taxi company among dozens of others.
- em3rgent0rdr 9y agoDon't use wal-mart. Don't use facebook. Don't use windows. Don't eat at Chick Filet. How often are these boycotts successful today, honestly? (I'm now there are some historical examples...last I can think of was the campaign against DRM in iTunes mp3s.) I think a much better solution than boycotting/complaining is for someone to develop a better alternative that people will significantly prefer. (Lyft apparently doesn't meet this threshold.)
- Xoros 9y agoBecause in hope people will eventually understand that they really have the power. Ok, a bit of an utopia I guess...
- yuppppppp 9y agoYup, supposedly Lyft is actually worse. NerdWallet recently did a survey that showed Uber drivers making $15/hour versus $11/hour for Lyft. They did concede that tips gave Lyft driver's the possibility of making more than Uber drivers, but now that Uber has tipping that's a moot point.
- locopati 9y agoinstead of thinking about it as a boycott, would it help to think of it as what do i want to support with my money?
