UberX targeting super stud city MHK

[CNS]

I disagree.  The operator is providing the equipment and the labor.  That's as subcontractor'ey as it gets, imo.

Leave Uber alone already. Why is ever-y-one trying to make me drive drunk?

A subcontractor is contracted on a job by job basis often.  Couldn't each ride be considered a job/contract?

I'm not sure they really can. Also, subcontractors typically set their own rates and aren't told not to accept tips.

Been using uberpool a lot lately.  Super cheap and most of the time there isn't another rider.  Also nice that it tells you your fare before you order it.  Great service imo.

Do I have a free ride or not?

I enjoy using uber but they have pretty deplorable business practices. I can't recall them ever being correct about any public stance they've taken over any attempted regulation. They are petulant, spoiled children.

wha?  while i'm not jumping at the chance to defend uber, because their labor practices are a bit booty (but so are taxi companies) a lot of what they've dealt with is archaic regulation that was already in place and served to protect the taxi monopoly.  the medallion system in NYC is a good example of what i'm talking about.  it's very hard to be a disruptor in a government regulated industry and takes a lot of lobbying dollars to buy your share of the market you're wanting to compete in.

Have you guys ever had a hard time with the app? For some reason mine hasn't been working. My bro is in town from Louisiana and my friend dropped me off to him and his friends at Westport last night for a few drinks. End of a shitty story, I ended up walking home all the way from Westport.

This and sole issues with the gE.com servers? I'm starting to see a pattern develop.

Pfftt.

Maybe Uber runs on the same servers that gE does

i mean, cab, MAX, mrs wackycat08, etc?

[420seriouscat69]

Mrs. wacky wasn't excited that I stayed out, so she didn't answer my phone call. I probably should have called a cab, but it's been so long doing that, I didn't even know where to begin. <----Lazy I guess. I even had the bartender try and do it with my phone and he couldn't figure it out either. The waitress tried it and she was dumbfounded too. I then deleted the app and downloaded it again and had the same problems.
