I hate to say it, but this is close to what I was thinking when Trump started reorganizing things a while ago. The checks in the system are being eliminated.

Terrifying article.

Supreme Court: Season One will have its season finale Tuesday at 8pm. The winner will be chosen!

Reports that Customs agents at Dulles told lawyers that they were ordered by upper management to not provide info/access, a direct violation of court order. This is ripped almost word for word from a tweet by Matthew Rosenberg of the NYT.

Yup, apparently a DHS official told WSJ that in the first 23 hours 375 people were detained on arrival. The fakest news is going to be from this administration.

I haven't seen it on this board, but the whole #DeleteUber thing is just a wrong-headed anti-Trump action. This is not the time to trot out your big bag of personal grievances - we have a POTUS who is deranged and dangerous. Let's focus on the important stuff.

no i know, i was just asking.

they definitely have been trying to make it THE story to an extent. last week-- i will make an announcement late next week. this weekend-- it could be early in the week now! today-- tuesday at 8pm. later today (probably)- the name leaks along with another one or two so the nighttime news talks about it for an extra day.

not sure you'd wanna be drumpf's 1st SC nominee. They shouldn't waste a lot of time getting fitted for robes in advance of their hearings at any rate

I mean, it's a kind of shitty company...anti labor, flouting regulations, and now breaking strike lines and the CEO advising trump. i still use uber but i cant exactly blame people. i'll probably use lyft more now though (and you can tip in app and their drivers make more).

Could easily be argued that what Uber did is more opportunistic. If lyft being opportunistic means million dollar donations to ACLU im ok w that

you are flexing your CONSUMER FREEDOM. Sounds pretty American to me.

now imagine if they tried to make you bake a gay cake while they drove you around, then i'd be up in arms

Yes - that's fine. There's a reasonable debate about Uber, absent the Orange Buffoon factor.

I use both - just better service than taxis. I tip the drivers in cash, Uber or Lyft.

I do think that, often the drivers are more borrowing from their own future than earning money, because they don't measure the declining value of their cars.

oh yeah, same. all things being equal this is highly preferable way of doing business

but it was 100% a shrewd marketing move on lyft's part-- you can't buy that kind of publicity for $1 million. they were losing to uber pretty badly and this re-inserted them into the national spotlight
