A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

(And brother - driving for uber is not "running your own business"... it's being maximally-exploited by a business... with no liability-protection, no security, and almost zero rights.)

Both can be true! There's a reason I quit that shit years ago.

I’m waiting for the math... Support your claim that you would “make a killing”.

I don’t see how you would...

The most you could possibly make would be $32.50 in an hour... (and that’s ONLY if you had a fare for ALL 60 minutes of an hour... and somehow still made less than $32.50 from those fares).

...And you'd be driving your own car and burning gas for that whole hour...

So show me (with math) how you’d be “making a killing”.

No. I'm not wasting any more time with you. Watch the videos if you want.
