I took an Uber Comfort yesterday after dropping off my car. The trip (NOT during surge) cost me $29. The driver got $14! 😡

Then I took an Uber X to pick it back up again...and I paid $26. The driver got - wait for it - $10!

Both rides were ~35 min. Don't think cos you pay a lot that the drivers MAKE a lot!

And "the trip was too expensive" is no reason to tip your driver less (or nothing). Can't afford to pay your driver's wages? Don't take the

So long plastic air pillows: Amazon shifting to recycled paper filling for packages in North America

Amazon is moving from putting plastic air pillows in its packages in North America to using recycled paper filling instead, a move that’s more environmentally friendly and is said to secure items in boxes just the same, if not better

@GottaLaff Just so we're all aware of how good this is not...It costs more (in money AND PLASTIC) to replace the items this allows damage to come to!

American Exceptionalism.

Via Kyle Griffin:

Republican Mike Gallagher hints that death threats may have been behind his early resignation:

"This is more just me wanting to prioritize being with my family," he said. "I signed up for the death threats and the late-night swatting, but they did not. And for a young family, I would say this job is really hard."

@GottaLaff Sorry, not sorry dude!

You went with this group. You bought into it. And you took your family into it.

While I disagree w/death threats, it's not us who are threatening. It's actual MAGA. Switch parties (even to I) if you want to fix what you guys started, Gallagher!

Media Stock Price Continues to Fall

“The stock traded at a high of $74.74 on the second day of trading. Since that time Trump Media dropped steadily, closing today's trading at $46.15 a share. That means the stock has lost 33.74% of its value in just the last 5 days. By the time Trump is able to sell his shares, they may be close to worthless” https://www.meidastouch.com/news/trump-media-stock-price-continues-to-fall

Uber says it finally made an annual profit after 15 years, but who paid the price to get it there?

The company fired 6,700 workers, hiked fares for customers, and squeezed drivers even harder. Now the stock is up and investors will get a $7 billion share buyback. It turns your stomach.
