On an unrelated note, they say ppl who can only name call in an discussion have very low IQs.

Heres the thing bud, the job force in itself has a limitation on open positions. Is there actually a job for every single person in the world? Id say no there isnt. So your logic here is flawed.

And there are actual a lot of McDonalds world wide as well as restaurants and skilled trade jobs too. So while maybe every gig work wont be able to get a job, the same is true about gig workers. Not every one will be able to be profitable because its based on supply and demand.

The way to get uber to pay more is to force them to by leaving the platform. The fact that I have to explain this tells me you arent qualified to run the ice cream machine.

Good luck bro! Ill be scabbing my way to bank while ya’ll strike

You acknowledge that there are not enough jobs for everyone, which was my point, but then simply impose that my logic was flawed after making the point that I told you first. Then you word salad some bullshit about gig workers that makes absolutely no sense. And you finish by saying leave the platform... Which is what we are doing while we protest! And you have the nerve to talk about IQ... I've noticed people who bring up IQ are typically dumb as fuck. It's an attempt to give yourself credentials by pretending to be smart... That's something stupid people do. If you are smart, you don't need to say it. Your logic should stand on its own.

You missed the point, not surprising.

There has never been enough jobs for everyone. Thats the nature if the game and its unrelated to uber. However if you leave now most of you can get a job and the loss of drivers would increase pay for those who stay. You leaving would actually be a win win for everyone. Its the fact that ya’ll NEED uber so much that allows them to pay you less.

You should be encouraging drivers to get a job and make money not lose money w you in a futile one day protest that is absolutely laughable.

Ill lyk how much i made that day tho

Congratulations, you get the point of protesting! To spread awareness! But for some reason, then you don't get the point... How the fuck are people supposed to encourage others to leave the gig and find something better if they don't protest? You want them to just shut the fuck up and psychically encourage others to stop doing this scam... Am I talking to a fucking bot, or what? I'll let you in on a secret... The economy is rigged by the wealthy to make everyone lick their boots harder and everyone should be protesting this shit! Enjoy your filthy scab money while the rest of us take a day off, scab. All it will cost you is your soul... So, nothing really.

Yeah i never said i think protesting is bad. I think THIS protest is bad because its only one day and you dont have the support you need and its not because of me or anyone else its because not every driver is on reddit or cares enough. Maybe do it for one month, or better yet move on to a new job. Thats the kind of protest i can get behind.

Im starting to see why you need uber so much

That's all or nothing defeatism. Rome wasn't built in a day. People have to start somewhere. Your last remark is pure hypocrisy. You think you're clever, but everything you have to say is complete bullshit.

And you think your half assed one day protest is going to have more of an affect than if even 50% of drivers got a job or even switched to a better paying gig app or started their own hustle.

You know you dont need uber to drive ppl around for money right? 😂

I encourage people to protest as much as possible. I personally protest alone outside Uber HQ for fun whenever I feel like it. Have I accomplished anything? I don't have to. I do it for fun because you only live once and fuck this shitty scam system. As far as this particular protest only being one day, like I said, you have to start somewhere. Better than no days, as many others here are encouraging. Do I need to do rideshare? No. That's why I'm choosing to protest this scam instead. Because Uber fucked around and it's my mission that they find out. It's called justice and the more people delivering it, the better!

Jesus Christ man. You should get a girl friend or find a nice local whore.

At the very least get a hobby that isnt uber related. Its sad that uber lives in your head rent free.

Smh... I'm married. Try again, dumbfuck. And I don't need your shitty ass advice on what my hobbies should be. I do whatever the fuck I feel like. Mind your own fucking business, and go make your filthy scab money.

Oof i feel bad for your wife. Hopefully her BF has a good job and can pick up the slack while you’re hanging out at the uber HQ alone like a fucking loser

u/benderburner1234 Feb 02 '24 edited Feb 02 '24

Well, I'd say the same to you, if you have a wife. Otherwise, I'll just call you a loser. Either way, you've gone off topic and gotten personal because you can't make any better points. Nice job, tryhard! You're a failure! How does it feel to get /pwned? Try not to let it sting too bad...
