Ah, yes, Big Taxi conspiracy.
I can't imagine thinking a company losing billions while subsidizing chauffeurs for rich people while skirting laws is a "better business model".
>Fuck California.
Have you considered living in a place that doesn't require you to do "gig work" on top of your regular job in order eat? Isn't that the world we want?
- frockington1 6y agoI've done gig work on top of my regular job to have a little extra in savings. Really helped during the virus when the stock market went on sale. Luckily I'm in a free state and don't have to worry too much about this regulation spreading
- JaceLightning 6y agoI work for a billion dollar tech company. I make plenty of money to take care of myself, but I like a little padding for extra fun things and rainy days. I also find it fun to tutor. I have plenty of money because I don't live if a shitty place like California.

I love this line because raising uber prices to meet the demands of Big Government will be cost prohibitive for most people. That means, a) uber drives get less than before, and b) fewer people will take uber, and c) the people that do will have to pay more for it. So... you've just increased the cost of living for everyone, making it harder to live on a regular job.
