Uber

Uber drivers make like $2 an hour after their vehicle expenses. If they paid their drivers properly, taxi companies would still compete just fine.

How much did they make before ? Zero and they needed tens of thousands of dollars to buy the permission . Millions of people are using them . They changed the world

Professional drivers? They used to make minimum wage or more. Taxi unions would ensure that vehicle expenses and taxes wouldn't get in the way of making a decent living.

wow Ignore that fact that only the rich could afford the permits.. Statism is a form of slavery the problem is the slaves only know how to be slaves .

Oh yeah, only the rich were ever taxi drivers!

No lol but only the rich could afford to own taxis then they would hire drivers . Wow how old are you that you don't know ??? The permits in NY at one time cost $1,000,000 so yea only the rich owned taxis ..Ube made it where anyone can make a $$ and That is a beautiful thing ..

Somebody still needs to own the Uber car, and it's not Uber. The owner of the car still has to maintain the car and fill it with fuel. That's why I'm saying that Uber drivers often don't actually take home more than a fifth - ONE FIFTH - of minimum wage. All that driving around and it would actually be better worth it to work as a waitor or waitress.

That is not good. You're always saying "don't take people's stuff" - well, don't take people's time. That time they're putting in should be properly rewarded. Uber should be paying their drivers a taxi-drivers' salary, and charging their customers a taxi-driving fare. THEN we can talk about who's better and more popular.

I'd sell you a pair of sneakers for a dollar if I were allowed to pay the people who made it ten cents - that doesn't make it a better way of making sneakers.

FYI Uber is not forcing people to be drivers or passengers ..

Proof of what ?

Lol Sucks to be you

How many people make one penny because you started a business?

What good is one penny if the bill is for $400?

You sound like a real parasite in my book ..Complaining about the greed of the host that you feed off of while sucking the life out of them .

You can live off one meal a day .lol Create something and change your life and someone else's ..right now you are the living dead /a meathead . good luck

That statement shows me that you have never really earned a penny in your life

How many people ate one meal because you opened a business? Get a life ...

What good is one meal when you need three a day?

Ans that's why some people want to make the disastrous pro act a nation wide thing.

Uber has yet to make a profit. It’s rates undercut taxis, putting them out of business to gain market share. And Uber and Lyft are not a “ride-share” business, it’s actually a taxi business. It is obvious that the drivers are in it functioning as a taxi, and not taking somebody to work with them sharing the ride. They never had to get a taxi permit and go by taxi laws having a meter in the car. Everybody wants to take Uber and Lyft because it’s cheaper, which is exactly why they have not made a profit.
