It sounds like you're in law enforcement so you'll hopefully be able to appreciate this metaphor (particularly as it pertains to this one-sided debate you've chosen to engage in):
Huh?? The employment status of Uber drivers is entirely orthogonal to the ethics and/or legality of "surge-based pricing." Anyone attempting to conflate these obviously unrelated issues clearly has an agenda.
If I'm going to be up two hours before dawn and the only one available in a medium sized city to take people to the airport for the first flight out, I want to be paid more than if I got up at noon when there are a million other drivers online.
And... all other things being equal, basic supply and demand ensures you will be; when there are few Uber vehicles out and about, you're going to average more fares per hour than... oh, fuck; what's the point??
But can you explain why the consumer should pay more than 5%
I don't need to. Either the consumer is willing to pay more than a given amount or they're not (as the case may be); regardless, that [respective] choice quite effectively communicates everything they need it to (except, perhaps, to fools and shills)
Maybe someone should tell the American H1B employers that they can pay female H1B (what is that BS number) 72%(?) of what they pay male H1B workers
They've likely already figured this out and are even capitalizing on it; this is probably why the gov't isn't publishing the numbers (it doesn't fit with the current politically-calculated narrative).
Your post seems to be the only one getting close to the likely truth: that there are far more female H1B's than male... hence the reason TPTB don't find it convenient to disseminate the numbers...
but I can imagine that the walking gave me some relaxation too.
That's it? Relaxation?? You suffered severe (suicide-grade) depression and you're unaware that cardio was one of the crucial steps you can take to stabilize your brain chemistry and begin healing? If you were unaware of that, some other useful steps you might not be aware of include avoiding alcohol (quitting sugar and caffeine will do wonders towards helping with the cravings for alcohol, not to mention your moods; they both overstimulate the adrenals, leading the brain to want to self-medicate, often with booze) and there's a *very* good chance if you quit wheat, corn and dairy (all linked with mental illness) and get plenty of sunshine (critical for proper metabolic regulation, among other things), you'll begin to feel... hopefully fucking good.
No shit; the CIA doesn't look for explosives in school buses; other people look for the CIA's explosives in school buses (and in this case would appear to have found them).
The goal of any advanced civilization should be 100% unemployment and automation.
Sounds like an idealistic notion from a brilliant individual who never looked up from a fucking book long enough to actually notice anything useful about the civilization around them...

Congrats, the first loser who felt the need to throw in an unnecessary buzzword (a buzzword the use of which makes you a loser... is that recursive?).
I suspect the U.S. doesn't give a flying rat's ass about them.
Either that or censorship over here doesn't operate in the blatant, simplistic fashion that it does in China.
Do you have any business cards? I'd like to hand them out to my enemies...

Will they Crack down on western union?
That depends; are you "playing a game of chance" by using them to send stuff?

So assnat.qc.ca looks good to me
Some natural ass (excuse me; "ass naturel") would look good to me, too.
Don't bring a knife to a gun fight.
We've already made the choice to limit privacy rights of suspected criminals.
Nice try but no, we haven't... and anyhow, what part of "Innocent Until Proven Guilty?" do you not understand??

Employees of a single company, by definition, can't collude to fix prices. But independent contractors sure can.
Where did you come up with this notion that Uber's pricing structure was in any way influenced by Uber drivers?!
But can you explain why the consumer should pay more than 5%
I don't need to. Either the consumer is willing to pay more than a given amount or they're not (as the case may be); regardless, that [respective] choice quite effectively communicates everything they need it to (except, perhaps, to fools and shills)

Would you make that "hurrr" sound in a verbal discussion?
Yeah but it might be the best thing to happen to Oculus' competition. ;)

many have turned their back on men completely, or after a short fling.
Rest assured, it's not any of the females we need concern ourselves over.

Given the above, since the driver is doing the bulk of the investing of resources, he should get more than the 70%.
As he does; with UberX/XL, he gets 80%; with UberBlack 75% and UberSUV 72%.
Why the fuck can't taxies just offer good service?
Until Uber arrived on the scene, they clearly didn't feel they needed to.
While Uber has definitely engaged in some questionable behavior, this isn't it... and IMHO isn't likely to go very far at all, even in New York.
