They certainly charge enough to pay these people that much, I can't find any concrete numbers but it seems like the consensus is that the ride share company takes between 25% and 75% of the ride profit. What a racket
A girl I dated a few years ago basically went from gainfully employed to poverty without changing any of her behaviors thanks to Lyft just continuously sucking ass and reneging on every perk and pay structure. I have no idea what she's doing now but I doubt it's driving. I hope she's getting a fat settlement check.
I think maybe Tom Brady, and the other Boston sports stars who also beat your teams, encouraged more people to live here. Or maybe it was the ritual sacrifices I made to the Traffic Demon Lord of Sports Betting.
An initial investigation revealed that the truck and the bicycle were traveling in the same direction on Mount Auburn Street and the truck was turning onto DeWolf Street at the time of the crash.
And from the posted article:
On Friday, Nguyen and the truck driver were both traveling in the same direction along Hampshire Street when the driver made a right turn onto Portland Street, striking Nguyen at the intersection, according to the Middlesex district attorney’s office.
Yes bike lanes, ideally separated so nobody can park on them. I wish police would ticket for turning without signaling. Dream works is transit designed around bikes and trains; adding bike areas to a car centered design will always produce hazards.
I never ride near trucks, especially by intersections.
After 11 years of riding in Boston and Cambridge, I did finally get run over by a taxi trying to u-turn across 3 lanes from a parallel parking spot (actually I went ever the hood and bystanders stopped him from backing over me to drive off).
Pro tip, taxis only have to carry state minimum insurance (30k at the time of my accident 10 or so years ago now).
I'd rather government subsidized over corporate owned. While both aren't ideal, corporate owned will never act in the best interest of the people,.only the shareholders. Government isn't great but at least there is some semblance of accountability with elections
good. It's not hard to use a reusable. Mine is indestructible, holds all I need, and I can tuck some reusable veggie bags in there and still stuff it in a pocket before i head in.
I need someone to force me to use them, because I always forget. Hopefully if the only option is to buy reusable ones each time, I will eventually remember.
You have to put it somewhere where it will interrupt your normal thought patterns when you go shopping. It will take some time before you begin to remember but eventually it will become part of your thought pattern... ["Wallet, keys, phone, bag..."]
That's pretty much how it goes. For the first few months you find yourself in line without a bag, so you pay an extra couple bucks. Now I've got enough reusable bags in my car it's not a big deal anymore
