Uber waste of time!
|
I don't know how fair it is to factor in vehicle depreciation since I would argue most Uber drivers are only using the service to make some short term cash. But I suppose for the purposes of illustrating the point it makes sense.
I think after gasoline money and taxes I made like 10-11 bucks an hour a few weekends last year. Decided that it wasn't worth it but for people who are in need of short term cash, I say go for it. Definitely not the cash cow some drivers make it out to be though.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love. Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll 
"The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one." - George Bernard Shaw
I was reimbursed by the defense contractor I worked for use of my car (after they got rid of our departments car) at the standard government rate at the time.
It was very easy for me to demonstrate to my boss that the rate was significantly less than my actuals for driving my car. Of course, I didn't point out to her I was also on the clock while driving my car, and once out of the building wasn't exactly setting land speed records in getting to the other company facility, LOL, but then, she never asked either. But that analysis for Uber makes sense. Advertising to riders how cheap it is, and then advertising to drivers how lucrative working for them is implies it's one of those 'down hill both ways' things, and that usually isn't true. Especially with Uber making 30% off the top . . . Econ 101 people. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

What's that? A billion dollar business taking advantage of its employees? How could that happen?
Don't worry, I'm sure Trump and the Republicans will tackle this problem and make America great again.
