I guess DEI bans are popular among Florida University professors because the government enacted it.
Again, legislators don't care if it's popular among the impacted party. They just care if it's popular among voters. Which are overwhelmingly not Uber and Lyft drivers.
I feel comfortable that this legislation is unpopular among Uber and Lyft drivers because they chose on their own accord to drive for these apps, and now they are deprived of that choice.
- coldpie 3y agoCan you find some examples of drivers speaking out against it? At public hearings etc? All the news coverage I've seen about it has mentioned significant driver support and very little opposition.

I can certainly understand wanting more pay for drivers, but for the city council to just sidestep the statewide study and mandate rates higher than the study advocated for seems shortsighted and irresponsible to me.
