"From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs."

The drivers all seem to be giving according to their abilities.

Women's needs are presumably the same as men's.

Since no one opposes this pay gap, I take it the doctrine above has been discarded even by the left.

That's Communism. Very few letfties are Communists. I think DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) are pretty awesome, though. If they ran a candidate for my local House or Senate that candidate would have a good chance of getting my vote.

Seriously? You went all 'round the houses about how much Uber drivers are paid in order to discredit that deluded old mystic Karl Marx? Try not to equate 'the left' with 'communism'.

Nope. It wasn't my intent at all when I started the thread. It just crossed my mind, so I posted it. It's called having a discussion.

I like how sexist clowns will grasp at straws to try to dismiss the pay gap so they can pat themselves on the back. It's fucking hilarious.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

Oh, am I a Marxist now? I can't keep up with all these labels people are putting on me.

I didn't use the label. You did.

On a full scale maybe...but doesn't universal healthcare, for example, apply that concept?

Here's the thing: in the OP you gave two reasons for the gender pay gap in Uber that seemed to be rooted in non-gendered issues, experience and speed; there is no reason to believe that women can't find ways to compensate for them, given enough time. Maybe they can learn to drive faster or stick with it longer. It's not outside the realm of possibility to think the women can do better.

Oh. Right. You implying people on the left believed in a Marxist doctrine did not in any way impose the label on them. Gotcha. My bad.

I can get that you inferred that, but now that I've clarified that I didn't intend to imply it and you continue to push it...yes, your bad.
