    dog what

    dude there are like… other rideshare apps

    and taxis still exist

    and Minneapolis has an effective (for America) transit system

    there are so many options in place before breaking the law

    and if paying a living wage is not possible for Uber or Lyft, maybe they shouldn’t be in business

      Honestly exactly this, if a business is impossible to exist without exploitation then it straight up shouldn’t exist, and if that means our economy can’t exist, it needs to be rethought so goods and services exist to be goods and services, and not a money making scam.

      That all means nothing when some night in the coming weeks Joe 6 pack walks out of the bar after a few to many, tries to get an Uber, a Lyft, both fail. Looks at his car he was gonna leave there, and risks it.

      This isn’t an acceptance of the unfair work conditions, it’s simply an outcome that WILL happen if the cord is cut all at once.
