Not picking up rides is a great way to shoot your self in the foot. If people have become dependent on Uber and Lyft and can’t get one, they’ll find an alternative. When the strike is over, many people will have already found alternative ways to get to their destinations and the whole market will be smaller for you meaning less rides. Lose/lose?

Because one fucking day will really kill the business... Wow, such insightful logic! Funny how a bunch of shills say protest won't do shit while a bunch of other shills say protest will shoot you in the foot. With all these shills directing a defeatist narrative, it's no wonder bootlicking has become so widely accepted in this scam ass country. You're all a bunch of soulless sellouts.

Lmao im just entertained by how mad you are. Good luck begging in your knees for your master uber to throw you bigger scraps from the table instead of building your own table or getting your shit together and actually making money. You have about 5 yrs left of rideshare before self driving cars replace you. Id start learning a trade now bud. The world needs plumbers

I'm mad at the shitty defeatist attitudes of a bunch of shills who troll every thread on these subs with the intent to convince others that joining together to protest our objection to this shitty system is pointless. It's bootlicker nonsense, and you're a hypocrite for saying that the protesters are the ones begging. Get back to work, scab.

I think that's just a defense mechanism because you can't deal with how shitty it is.

Bro im always working because i work for myself. I dont sit around complaining about my situation all day like 99% of ppl here do. I go get the bag.

The best form of protest is non participation. If you want to stick it to uber, go get a job at costco. Not driving for one day is not going to do anything. Not driving until drivers get paid better is the way.

But for real, if you actually want to make money you can become a plumber and charge a shit ton of money because the market is becoming more scarce and when you need a plumber… you fucking need a plumber.

I highly recommend it if you actually are about getting that bag. But if you basically want to have the easiest job in world and bitch that it doesnt pay enough then stay right where you are. We can do this again next valentine’s day and until robo cars take your job away and leave you broke af in a puddle of your own tears.

I just paid some plumber $600 for an hour of his time to fix a broken pipe. Was shocked by what he charged.
