You can cancel a driver immediately without penalty. If you get a driver you've had before and didn't like or it's a driver with a POS car or a driver with a poor rating that's your opportunity to cancel.
The ghost drivers that plague me, in a non-US location, are drivers who are faking their locations so the appear to be close but actually aren't. I think they are being ghosts for a different reason, fear that the taxi mafia in this country in cooperation with the corrupt police harass Uber drivers and in some cases attack them. Every Uber driver insists that I ride up front and if pulled over pretend the driver is just my friend driving me around.
The taxi mafia here has good reason to fear Uber, it cuts into their revenue from ripping off people with everything from lying about the fare to pulling a counterfeit currency switcheroo when you pay.
Blue Origin 27' diameter, 270' tall first stage powered by 7 BE-4 engines producing a total of 3.85m lbf to thrust second stage powered by a single BE-4 producing 550k lbf of thrust
Falcon Heavy 12' diameter (not counting payload fairing) 230' tall first stage powered by 9 Merlin 1D engines producing a total of 1.7m lbf of thrust first stage boosters each powered by 9 Merlin 1D engines producting a total of 1.7m lbf of thrust Total: 1st stage + 2 boosters = 5.1M lbf of thrust second stage by 1 Merlin 1D engine producing 210k lbf of thrust
So, yes, the New Glenn is bigger and produces less thrust. It uses a different fuel, requiring a larger rocket. That doesn't make it better or worse.
Rockets blow up, cars crash, trains derail and we learn a little bit more every time it happens. Even the ULA's long stretch of mishap free launches is going to have a new risk when they are forced to do what Blue Origin and SpaceX have been proactively doing, develop new engines.
Commercial space launches are the present and the future in the US.
What sort of dangerous experiments are done when a Falcon-9 is launched? Be specific.
This was the 29th launch of the Falcon-9, the only one to blow up on the launch pad. One other launch blew up in-flight and a third one had a motor failure that resulted in a satellite not achieving orbit but the resupply mission was successful.
So two explosions in 29 launches over 6 years, no lives lost, no dangerous experiments.
How much longer should we wait for that disaster to happen?
NASA no longer launches rockets and given that two space shuttles were lost along with their entire crews I'd say that NASA's more expensive projects have had some disasters of their own already.

That supposed "near zero" inflation rate has reduced the value of $1 to 45 cents
As for the Federal Reserve not printing money, here is how Alan Greenspan described the process of the Federal Reserve buying over $2 TRILLION in US Government securities:
“Now, you might ask the question, well, the Fed is going out and buying 2 trillion dollars of securities – how did we pay for that? And the answer is that we paid for those securities by crediting the bank accounts of the people who sold them to us, and those accounts, at the banks, showed up as reserves that the banks would hold with the Fed. So the Fed is a bank for the banks. Banks can hold deposit accounts with the Fed, essentially, and those are called reserve accounts. And so as the purchases of securities occurred, the way we paid for them was basically by increasing the amount of reserves that banks had in their accounts with the Fed."
They "credited the bank accounts of the people who sold them". That is creating money out of thin air.
They aren't relying on the secrecy of their implementations as their main method of providing security, therefore they are not using security through obscurity.
I'd recommend you read up on what security through obscurity really is.
Reducing peak loads isn't at all the same as using less power.
This is also about reducing aggregate peak demand which is different than just reducing your home's peak demand. It's quite possible for non-cooperative homes to all individually reduce peak demand while in the aggregate increasing peak demand.

My front door could probably be picked relatively easily.
That doesn't mean you get to pick my locks, wander through my house and when arrested blame your intrusion on me.
We can argue over the appropriate punishment, we can argue about edge cases but "it was easy" isn't an excuse and neither is you having Aspergers.
Refund or replace with an equivalent product that doesn't have the defect.
Where do you think the CPSC gets its reports of problems from? People.
False/incorrect claims of issues are not uncommon and the agencies log them all.

Good thing the FBI director made sure nobody can see what he looks like when someone hacks his laptop and steals sensitive information.
He was being sarcastic because SpaceX is already making orbital launches and successfully recovering the 1st stage.
Bigger doesn't mean more powerful.

So, yes, the New Glenn is bigger and produces less thrust. It uses a different fuel, requiring a larger rocket.

Two days
Because the actual launch is typically just a couple of days after the static test firing. It is a complete system check prior to launch.
Gift cards don't need to be registered. Buy with cash and there is zero record of who purchased it or used it.
The money certainly was "in the US". iPhone sales in the US result in profits in Ireland, substantial profits.
At $550 for something that has mostly the specs of a 3 year old Nexus 5, but is still stuck on Android 5, I'd pass.

1. People making $300k/yr in SF are not forced to live under a bridge, they are perfectly free to commute.
2. A $3k/mo apartment is not a basic need. Living in San Francisco is not a need at all.
3. Yes, people fighting over 1 bedroom apartments is a sign that people don't have any sense. Move, see point #2.
Let's look at your claim that the inflation rate has been near zero for three decades:

$1000 in 1986 is the equivalent of $2195.68 today
That supposed "near zero" inflation rate has reduced the value of $1 to 45 cents

Where did the Federal Reserve get the money they used to purchase $2.4 TRILLION in US treasury securities?

If the answer isn't "out of thin air" you are kidding yourself.
There is no irony because you misunderstand what security by obscurity really is.
Putting quote marks around something that wasn't said is dishonest.
Nobody said they didn't take precautions.
What one person said, referring to anti-malware software on his Linux computer:
"I don't like to get complacent and rely on it in any way,"
They aren't relying on the secrecy of their implementations as their main method of providing security, therefore they are not using security through obscurity.
I'd recommend you read up on what security through obscurity really is.
The country is going to hell in a hand basket, just like people have been warning for the last 240 years.
