I would be happier for them to driver for Uber or Lyft than for a taxi company.
I don’t think it’s a career. Just a job. If my kid drove for a ride share while going to school or something that seems fine.
- hotpotamus 4y agoThere are quite a few qualifications to that answer.
- Gunnerhead 4y agoBecause you asked a very loaded question. If you were to ask me that question, I'd say: I'd be as happy that my child drives for Uber, as much as I'd be happy they're driving for a taxi, limousine, or a bus.
- hotpotamus 4y agoIt's a question I ask myself often when I see the disrespect Americans have for people in jobs they also consider essential. I have other questions for myself like, "how would I truthfully explain this to my mother?". If the answers make you feel shame, then that probably tells you something.
- Gunnerhead 4y ago1. I don't see anyone in the comments disrespecting Uber drivers 2. I never stated I'd feel shameful 3. I'm not sure I understand what argument you're trying to make
- hotpotamus 4y agoI wasn't aware I was making an argument. I asked a question (which was apparently loaded) and gave my thoughts. It's my experience that American society in general disrespects working class people - it's pretty clear from the stagnant wages and multi-generational political movement to suppress unions, so I understand why parents would not want their children to join that class.
