I'm very sorry if I have offended you in any way. It's just that my grandfather had very bad cataracts, and no one wanted to drive with him because he was almost running people over. It took the entire family to fight him in court to have his license taken away. I have another relative who made the same responsible choice as you, and it is a very wise one. I did not mean to make a generalization about senior drivers, I was merely speaking from personal experience.
You know, if you moved to a third world country you could make your own mountain of shit. You could build it with the poor kids bikes... and your actual shit. You could place all the people in concentric rings downwards. The people who are least important to you would have to wake up at 3am so they could walk up your enormous pile of shit to the company, which would be placed on top. They could make $5 and then start their descent so that they could sleep 4 hours to complete the cycle.
Please just don't involve me or any of my ancestors. The stench is unbearable.
Ah you are one of those who has lost faith in the system of government. I can understand that. I hope it will be fixed one day. For people like you, I'm really not sure why you live in a country with government. You'd probably be best living in a bunker in some third world country somewhere, because that's the system you really want.
One role of government is to provide its citizens with quality of life. This is what you seem to fail to comprehend. You feel normal, you feel that everyone around your who has left the nest egg is normal, so you think it must be normal. Hate to break it to you, but in the evolution of human beings, very rarely did a lone person strike out from their main tribe and go on their own to look for a better tribe. It is not natural for us, and you cannot really believe you are 'as good off' as people who live with extended family around them.
In my world, regulation comes about though a legal system that has representation of the people. So it is all people that decide what the regulation should be.
Well then I'll see you at the bottom because that's where we are all going with that thinking. The fact of the matter is, regulation is what keeps us out of the shitter, and I would like to see us stay out of it as long as possible. Without regulation, then the wealthiest and most powerful would really get their way.
So you think it's right that people should have to move across the country from their family support structure? If there is anything this country should be trying to protect people from, that is it. Children that grow up with extended family around them are much better off.
Nobody HAS to use Facebook... until you find out that it's the only place your friends are willing to communicate special events such as weddings and birthdays.
Sorry dude, my mouse skills are lacking and I moderated you overrated by mistake. Now I shall post to undo it, since there doesn't seem to be any other way. Someone else mod this guy up!
Young people already consider facebook boring.. They use instagram. I realize that facebook owns this, but how long can they keep purchasing the next thing?
I don't really get that.. if I'm developing a website, how hard is it to encrypt a password and store it in a database, or use a framework that does that? More effort to figure out how to link securely with facebook. It's a real lazy developer that can't code an email registration.
Bullshit. The more technology changes, the more the requirements of the user base change. Facebook is nothing more then entertainment, and it got a boost by it's correct calculation that people wouldn't mind being scanned and manipulated. There are many more services coming that will be real services changing the way we live and work, they just need the general public to come around to using technology first. I would even dare say that Facebook is an early gimmick that worked.
The thought that this is it.. that this is all that technology will ever do for us is such a bleak view. That would mean our very societies will not change which is totally incorrect.
Imagine how cheap it would be to run a helicopter without those annoying mandated safety inspections. After all, Uber vehicles don't have to regulate themselves.

I didn't say arrest them. Just turn off their account, for crying out loud. This is a technology company and not a taxi company, AFTER ALL.

Ah yes because everyone who doesn't move MUST be collecting welfare. Interesting reality there.

Well now we know why everyone in the US is so fucked up.

Will my Uber driver's profile indicate whether my driver can see to the end of the hood or not, before I get in the vehicle?
Fine, then limit it to 10 hours a week, because it is just a hobby.
..probably with improper insurance, to boot. So forget about any of the families of the killed bystanders getting money for proper funeral services.
And when I am a passenger getting into an Uber car, I can tell the people who are properly insured versus the ones that aren't...... how exactly?
Except there is no oversupply of labor either. There is an undersupply. The H1B program proves it.
Yes.. because being indebted to China is a good way to go.
That's it. My next resume is just going to read:
$this_person + $your_busuness = $WIN
if ($WIN) then
$company_dollars = $company_dollars + 1000000000000
end

Sounds like they're manufactured in China.
