you forget reddit is a constantly living thing. Check the thread again. You have to scroll way down to see any negative notions. Its clearly just noise.

China is really a resurgence of this already. I absolutely loved the train rides from Beijing to Shanghai, or to Hong Kong. Cheap and amazing scenery + actually quite comfortable.

I do this too all the time and many people in my circle are always concerned that I "Listen too much to reddit". Which is just insane to me! Of course I would rather listen to an open, commentable discussion forum than the top sea

SF is walkable because its tiny, yet each area feels very different because of the elevation changing your scenery in every nook. Ive been walking around the city for the past months now daily, and have not once encountered something unplea

Why are you repeating this falsehood? What facts do you have to present that Ubers current valuation is majorly driven by a selfdriving future?

They essentially do this at times with their bonuses, for example to setup a new geo area or to ensure rides in a certain area. However if you incentive being on call no matter what, you get drivers driving to the mountains to get their gua

Did you even read the wording of the prop? What you are describing is completely wrong. It's incredible how short sighted people get when they want to go all out and lash at the "evil" gig economy companies. Like really, the

This really seems to be a common trend on these Uber discussions. Americans bringing up cracks in the terribly terribly faulty infrastructure/systems (such as the legal system or the healthcare system) and try to find a way to blame it

Why are you even participating in conversation when you have not researched this at all? Uber doesn't forbid selling other services. Your point stands on flimsy sticks that are purely from your imagination.

I have the complete opposite anecdotal experience. Your 2nd paragraph is exactly what prop22 added. Now full-time drivers enjoy some benefits.

For years I read the US counterarguments that us healthcare is better than the countries with public. Then I moved to CA and got health insurance from work, using UCLA health as my main network. It's the exact same. I go to see my PCP
