Well, in this line of thinking, you should just tell people to quit their third job and go drive an Uber, I hear they'll be paying more as a minimum wage...
There's no excuse to keep people in poverty because other people are poor.
- sparrish 6y agoI guess you missed the part where the you don't have a car.
- tmpz22 6y agoUber provides financing for new cars, which I believe becomes a sort of entrapment as they then have to work long hours for uber to keep up with the car payments. You ever notice how so many uber drivers have brand new expensive cars?
- toast0 6y agoIt's been a while since I saw the terms for Uber leases, but I thought they were easy to end, amd no mileage limits. So, you shouldn't end up entraped; if it's not worth while, give the car back once you find a better job (which could be not having one, depending on the real costs and income) If the terms are more onerous than I remember, maybe you can get stuck.
