In fact, Uber’s top lawyer—Tony West, a Black man—has been the public face of Uber’s campaign against laws that would force the company to pay livable wages to its largely Black and brown workforce.

zwei klassen gesellschaft, klassenjustiz, doppeldenk, doublethink, irrational, rechte sind bürger zweiter klasse, rechte sind untermenschen, ...
dieses "klischeehafte denken" aka "die sind alle gleich" ist ein zuverlässiges merkmal für idioten.
diese leute reden immer nur über ihre feinde (über sekundärquellen wie "der spiegel"), aber nie mit ihren feinden (sonst müsste man kompromisse machen, sonst würde man die eigene radikale haltung verlieren, und "die guten" haben ein monopol auf radikale haltung)
"demokratie" ist nur ein anderes wort für sozialismus, und "die nazis" von 1933 waren auch sozialisten. damals nationale sozialisten, heute globale sozialisten, die gleiche scheinheiligkeit, die gleichen lügen, die gleichen heuchler, die gleiche aggressive dummheit und zerstörung...

9:25 rhetorik, emo-sprache, "er ist angepisst", defensive, abblocken, mauer, sekte, exklusiv, feinde ausschließen, kampfbegriffe, andere als "krank" beschimpfen und ignorieren, bashing ...
naja, ich mache das aber auch so. "mit idioten diskutieren" ist einfach nur zeitverschwendung, nicht-produktiver feindkontakt, kennste einen dann kennste alle. "if they dont listen, move on, so you can warn others." "dont argue with idiots, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience." da kann ich genauso gut mit tauben schach spielen, oder mit blinden über farben streiten. zeitverschwendung.
der einfachste intelligenztest ist das thema globale übervölkerung. wer die übervölkerung leugnet, der hat sich selbst disqualifiziert aus jeder ernsthaften rationalen diskussion. solche leute sollen zu ihren wohlfühl-veranstaltungen ("demos") gehen, wo sie sich gegenseitig bestätigen, wie schlau die alle sind... dummheit ist auch ein "kult", dumme wollen unter sich sein, dumm und glücklich
aber ja, auch dumme sind allergisch gegen schlaue menschen, und sind dann "angepisst", also beleidigt, und gegen wahrheit hilft nur gewalt, also ausgrenzen, zensieren, löschen, rauswerfen, ignorieren, ...

18. The success of the referendum orga nized by Uber and Lyft to preserve their ex-tremely precarious model in California in 2020 illustrates the limits of an idyllic visionof direct democracy, as well as the need to reconceive a salarial status that makes it pos-sible to reconcile protection and autonomy.

It’s the usual Silicon Valley sleight-of-hand move, very similar to Uber reps claiming drivers aren’t “core” to their business. I’m sure Substack is paying a writer right now to come up with a catchy way of saying that Substack doesn’t pay writers.

5、Uber 司机属于雇员 英国最高法院最近裁决，Uber 司机应该被视为雇员，而不是承包商。这意味着，这些司机可以享受最低工资、带薪休假、社保等待遇，这会使 Uber 的经营成本大增。法院理由如下： Uber 制定价格，决定了司机可以赚多少钱。 Uber 设定了合同条款，司机没有协商权。 Uber 限制了工作的灵活性，如果司机拒单，Uber 将对其进行处罚。 Uber 通过星级评定来监控司机的服务，如果不满意司机的表现，则可以终止司机的行车资格。 国内的网约车司机、代驾员、送餐员等等，都满足上面的标准，似乎也可以主张被当作企业员工。

Maar denk eens verder. Gaan we de wereld beter maken door verder te groeien? Dat willen ondernemers. En daar zijn neveneffecten aan verbonden. Uber is zogenaamd idealistisch. Ze willen de klant een betere en goedkopere taxirit bieden, maar hun chauffeurs worden uitgebuit. Met Airbnb kun je een leuk zakcentje verdienen, maar woonwijken worden hotels zonder sociale patronen. Facebook is één grote fake-news-show. Amazon is zo goedkoop dat ze alle kleine ondernemers van de weg drukken. Musk wil ons naar Mars brengen. Dat gaat zeker gebeuren, maar wat gaan we daar doen? Maakt het ons gelukkig? Waarom kiezen we er niet voor om elkaar en onze natuur op deze planeet vooruit te helpen?

Car loan
It probably could strengthen the argument here to also talk about how uber drivers are also put into further precarity by predatory car loans.

Surely all Uber drivers were submitted to the same labor regime, but those who had to endure it as a means to survive were predominantly people of color.
This is also true of companies like Instacart, GrubHub,etc.

Uber will not be granted a new licence to operate in London after repeated safety failures, Transport for London (TfL) has said.
The regulator said the taxi app was not "fit and proper" as a licence holder, despite having made a number of positive changes to its operations.

Risks Related to Our Business The personal mobility, meal delivery, and logistics industries are highly competitive, with well-established and low-cost alternatives that have been available for decades, low barriers to entry, low switching costs, and well-capitalized competitors in nearly every major geographic region. If we are unable to compete effectively in these industries, our business and financial prospects would be adversely impacted.
-
The development of our autonomous vehicle technologies is highly dependent on internally developed software, as well as on partnerships with third parties such as OEMs and other suppliers.

Our Autonomous Driving Strategy We are investing in technology to power the next generation of transportation.
Uber wants no pesky drivers who can make demands, like, wages.

Recent studies have indicated that Uber’s U.S. driver churn has sharply increased this year, to rates as high as 96%. Needless to say, it’s hard (and costly) to maintain double-digit growth rates, when only 4% of mission critical, de facto employees stay on the job for more than a year.
-
In fact, Uber has struggled to achieve market share leadership in many large foreign markets, including China, India, SE Asia and Brazil. Moreover, while network effects do exist within each metro market, the benefits are significantly weakened by extremely low switching costs, which enable drivers and riders to utilize whichever ridesharing service offers the best deal on any given trip.
-
In historical context, Uber’s extraordinary losses are thus not just a case of growing pains of an ambitious Silicon Valley startup, but a reflection of the deep structural deficiencies in ride-hail industry economics. Prior to artificial regulatory supply caps, the unregulated taxi industry was unprofitable and subject to growing concerns over negative externalities. Uber is now facing the same relentless drag on its P&L.

Travis’s Law,” Stone writes. “It went something like this: Our product is so superior to the status quo that if we give people the opportunity to see it or try it, in any place in the world where government has to be at least somewhat responsive to the people, they will demand it and defend its right to exist.” He was right.
Yuck.

You touch a button on your phone and something happens in the world.
This is profound, but it's also obvious. Obvious as in it makes this basic aspect of technology readily apparent to the end user.
Actually, when we press most buttons, lots of things happen in the world. One click on Amazon begins a complex process of labor and energy consumption, but this is conveniently hidden from the end user.
