This headline is extremely misleading. Example of the kind of liberal progressive outrageous bias that Buzzfeed has. | This headline is extremely misleading. Example of the kind of liberal progressive outrageous bias that Buzzfeed has. | ||

It is a shame this girl committed suicide, but claiming it had anything to do with Uber is a shame-on-you to the parents. This is the kind of liberal logic that blaims huge numbers of deaths on guns, when in reality a very large number are suicide related. People who are in that much despair to be attempting suicide will find a way to do it with whatever tools they can find, or even no tools at all, just need a high place. In this case, the girl could have easily hitch-hiked to where she was going, or taken a bus. It had nothing to do with Uber. Shame on them and the lawyer they rode in on. Shame on Buzzfeed for such a misleading clickbait headline. | It is a shame this girl committed suicide, but claiming it had anything to do with Uber is a shame-on-you to the parents.

- | But what this article says is correct about incentives to the drivers to pickup minors. These consecutive ride bonuses in the morning, $6 extra for an hours worth of 3 rides, absolutely require the driver to take kids to school. When you are only getting $15 before expenses for that hour, you need that extra $6 to have any hope of a reasonable pay rate for that hour. And you absolutely need those three rides to have any hope of achieving the 20 rides in 8 hours that you need that day to contribute | + | But what this article says is correct about incentives to the drivers to pickup minors.

Also, as a driver, you feel bad contributing to the truancy of a child if you dont give the ride to school. | Also, as a driver, you feel bad contributing to the truancy of a child if you dont give the ride to school. | ||
