Uber Stories: Sign of Danger
Me: "That's wild! BTW, what's your sign?"
Rider: "I probably shouldn't say this while sitting directly behind you, but I'm a triple scorpio 
️️️" 
cannot believe it is occurring to people that #DOGE IS NOT ABOUT EFFICIENCY BUT #SURVEILLANCE. just like #creditCards #Paypal #Uber #Tesla #Doordash #Amazon #Netflix #GMail #Instagram and every fin/techbro business.
the apartheid clown’s #malware is a ruse to give techbros the power to spy on all Americans.
these are the consequences of your silence while many of your friends & relations vilified us for saying, DEFUND THE POLICE. we didn’t just mean PDs. we meant the whole police state.
Mobility platforms: Lyft takes over Freenow

Ubers größter US-Konkurrent wagt endlich den Schritt nach Europa und übernimmt den Taxivermittler Freenow von Mercedes und BMW.
Elle a pris un #Lyft (=Uber) qui l'a ramenée à Toronto chez elle avec ses amies.
Puis elle a reçu un texto avec la transcription de tout ce qu'elle a dit dans la voiture. D'un numéro inconnu.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/lyft-conversation-transcribed-1.7508106 Lyft a d'abord nié, puis admis que c'est un nouveau programme pilote aux #US de Lyft qui écoute les conversations des passagers, donc surveiller tout ce que vous dites "pour votre sécurité". On parie que #Uber va faire pareil bientôt?

I had been letting my #uber #UberOne subscription continue for a while. But according to their support chat they cannot guarantee I won't get matched with a driver in a #Tesla so I let them know that's why I'm cancelling. Will generally grab a yellow cab as much as I can to get around. #nyc #boycotttesla
There once were students in Denmark detained,
After an Uber driver dispute gained.
They were caught in a mess,
In a foreign address,
But soon they'll be free, unchained.

#Travelers can avoid this fee by selecting local currency in the #Uber app settings
For frequent #travelers, these small fees add up alongside #roaming charges and other hidden costs
I had 4 ppl from an int'l food supplier in my #Uber #Rideshare today after having a meeting w/a HUGE supermarket about supplying food.
The employees actually were talking about listing tariffs now as line items on their bills - so they could let them know if tariffs drop or rise, the contract would have to allow for this.
SO, NO...distributors are not gonna foot the bills for tariffs.
