In this metaphor, it’s unlikely that either WeWork or Uber could be taken aback by suddenly viewing their reflections in a mirror. The horror is common knowledge to everyone, excepting perhaps the money blinkered investors.
Instead of dreaming about what potential lies in Etsy 2.0, why doesn’t someone build a competing marketplace that takes the advantage by not accepting a shit-ton of corrupting VC investment?
Yup. In Florida, many of them are illegals, many of them are hobos with cars, and others are indentured to crime rings where one vehicle is swapped out with several drivers whose faces apparently all look alike to the rideshare company management. Here’s an example for you: today, Tuesday, MCO is closed, yet the rideshare staging lot has over 25 vehicles in it. Yesterday, Monday, FLL was closed for weather, and the rideshare staging lot had over 55 vehicles parked in it with their homeless drivers sleeping through the hurricane to get first crack at inbound flights once they resumed. Nice work if you can get it.
Drivers who are aquainted with you may make a modest wage, and I’ll wager you know no drivers in Minneapolis nor Orlando, for their mileage rates cause their rideshare labor to be an entirely charitable endeavor.
You’re being downvoted for what, suggesting people buy their own vehicles? The downvoters conveniently skipped that you mentioned the primary option would be to pay the real costs of a private ride . Rideshare is a swindle against gullible, math-challenged contractors while painting the whole affair as a progressive, environmentally conscientious techno-inevitability.
What’s the solution to so many world governments now being led by totalitarian intellectual degenerates, especially since it increasingly negatively affects the whole of humanity? Are we waiting for a vague, benevolent singularity to conquer us stupids? Or are we humans becoming the yeast cells in the brew of our own demise? I seriously posit this for intelligent answers as I’m stumped.
I didn't. My sense of disgust and disillusion was heightened by the fact that it was an Amazon recommended product. Of late, I am more and more spare about shouting into the wind.
This reminds me of a time I needed a blower fan for my refrigerator and Amazon’s recommended one for next day delivery seemed suspiciously underpriced. I ordered it despite my trepidation that the item was going to be made out of silly putty by a Chinese pirate. Upon receipt, I discovered the serial number was filed off and I rested assured that it was a quality OEM but probably stolen. The motor is still working great which is more than one can say for Amazon.
It isn’t absurd in the sense that it’s untrue. It is factual that using electricity generated by carbon emitting processes affects climate change, but to factor every keystroke I’m making right this instant is a thought exercise warranting ridicule. We can cite the other extreme and condemn Bitcoin blockchain maintenance as an energy travesty.
It’s amazing how Dr. Humble of the NITV buoys his reputation on his title which he has publicly admitted was awarded as an honorific for six hours of Bible study at an unaccredited college.
The article mentions that the banknote passed multiple reviews before release, but doesn’t say who had the ultimate responsibilty for its being approved.
Can a legal mind please explain to us laypeople how $! billion (per plaintiff) in punitive damages doesn't belong on the other side of Alice's looking glass. Why not make it $1 Cajilion?
Rife Chinese product forgery is the greatest cause of my reticence to trust most any Amazon product. Second to that is wariness over resold return items which are not disclosed as such. I'm not much liking my shopping experience there lately.
