I’m waiting for the math... Support your claim that you would “make a killing”.
I don’t see how you would...
The most you could possibly make would be $32.50 in an hour... (and that’s ONLY if you had a fare for ALL 60 minutes of an hour... and somehow still made less than $32.50 from those fares).
...And you'd be driving your own car and burning gas for that whole hour...
So show me (with math) how you’d be “making a killing”.
The central feature of their business IS having drivers WAITING when a ride is requested.
So yes - it would be fair if they included some “waiting time” for each ride (maybe up to 15 minutes of actual waiting time).
These apps ONLY have value if there are drivers WAITING when a ride is requested, so drivers should be paid for that.
Okay...
Give me the math of how this new wage would help you “make a killing”.
Keep in mind that this wage merely sets a floor for the specific-minutes when you have a fare.
If you wait 10 minutes for a fare… give a 20-minute ride to some suburban house… and then drive 20 minutes back to the city…
your pay would be $10.83 (with this new deal).
…that’s very different from $32.50 per hour.
Does an airline baggage-handler only get paid for the “specific minutes” when he is lifting luggage?
Does a cashier only get paid for “specific minutes” when there are customers in her line?
The original goal of this lawsuit was to classify drivers as employees under state law…
And that goal was ignored completely.
It’s not as much as it seems…
The wage is only “for time spent traveling to pick up riders, and transporting them to their destination”.
No pay for driving back to the pickup area.
No pay for waiting when there are no fares.
It’s a per-minute wage, and only for certain minutes.
I love the joy you feel from the appearance of a monarch - knowing what that signifies.
And I love the way you study the overall water channel.
That’s true - Lemmy displays new comments above “top” comments, allowing them to be seen by everyone.
To find new communities - go to https://lemmyverse.net/communities, click the top right "Home" icon and type your home instance (ex: lemmy.world)... now you can open/subscribe to every community you like.
Get a good mobile app - they are listed here (with a ton of other great new-user tips): https://lemmy.ml/post/1470777
Change your default "Sort Type" to "Subscribed + New" (in settings) - now you have a fresh feed of your exact interests, every time you open Lemmy.
Communicate in a genuine, open-minded way - to me, Lemmy is a good place to really connect with people, and have honest discussions (versus the often more 'performative' tone of greeddit).
Yeah Open Source is the foundation, and the future!
Yes, I see the same glitch - in both local and remote unsubscribed communities:
Both "Subscribe" and "Block Community" are showing as plain text, yet they are probably meant to be a tags, like the "Create a Post" button:
<a class="btn btn-secondary d-block mb-2 w-100 " href="/create_post?communityId=92531">Create a post</a>Good catch - you could create an issue on the lemmy-UI issues
This is a very short story about sarcasm:
Ted opposes racist rants.
Yesterday - Ted posted a few exaggerated racist rants (sometimes with the /s).
2,177 people saw Ted’s racist rants.
50% of them guessed he was joking.
98% of them would not have seen a racist rant yesterday, if it weren’t for Ted's little gag.
So the question is:
Despite the sarcasm... isn’t Ted just spreading more of what he honestly deplores?
Is Ted subverting his own integrity?
Why not say how we actually feel?
Which statement are you calling “bullshit”?
You wouldn’t recommend what?
