Uber and Lyft will cease operations in Minneapolis in response to new minimum wage law, 10,000 drivers to be out of work...
- Thread starter The Tradition
- Start date
Yeah. I know. I lived through the cab era and Uber made getting a ride a thousand times better. You think taxis made some sort of amazing improvements in comfort and ease in the span where they almost went extinct?
Well…looks like they’re all in good hands now.
Black drivers say Twin Cities taxi company shut them out of high-paying work
One of the largest taxi companies in the Twin Cities, Green White, is accused of discriminating against black drivers by steering some of its highest-paying contract work almost exclusively to whites.

I guess not? You come across as upset about the prospect of having to call a cab in the twin cities.
No. Someone said that they weren’t gonna miss Uber and Lyft and I scoffed at that because other than the four people on this thread, ZERO people are going to be happy about those services leaving their city…including the drivers who are the ones meant to be “helped” by this.
It’s really what liberals are best at. Telling people why they’re wrong about feeling the way they feel and how, even though their lives just got shittier, they’re really better off…somehow.
Liberals didn't make them leave though, they left on their own will. They could pay the drivers minimum wage.
Liberals are the ones who over ruled the mayor and are in this thread explaining how it’s a good thing because some other company is gonna get their big shot.
And now it seems the council is having regret about their decision and wants a re-do.
Uber and Lyft in Minneapolis: Council member wants to reconsider ordinance
A pay raise ordinance for Uber and Lyft drivers in Minneapolis could get reconsidered as the ride-hailing apps plan to leave the city.
Guess we will see an uptick of drinking and driving, classic.
Ya, liberals overruled the mayor, but they didn't make them leave. Now Uber/Lyft is trying to twist their arms. Not sure how much I trust when companies make a statement that says "but they're already getting a fair wage."Liberals are the ones who over ruled the mayor and are in this thread explaining how it’s a good thing because some other company is gonna get their big shot.

When I went to concerts at the EXEL Center, i'd take an easy 15 minute cab ride home to Eagan
lol. For me, that number would be a LOT. I go to bed fairly early. I would say it would need to be at least $200.
Never say never. There are actually some really cool spots that aren't on fire yet.
You voted for Trump... sorry if I don't trust your logic
I get a kick out of the people who still mask. It's definitely a political fashion statement now more than anything. And that's all it ever was, it's just that a few years ago it was forced down everyone's throat.
I don’t understand the math in the new law. I just looked at the cost of an Uber to the airport where I am right now and if the law applied the cost would be at least 50% more if everything went to the driver. Add in Uber’s profit margin and I’d be paying double what I’m paying now.
No wonder they left.
No wonder they left.
These lib jobs belong to a line of thinking where there's no personal accountability. Any short coming in their lives is the fault of someone else or the fault of a "system". That's where they come up with these terms like, "wage stealing".
What a sad world and mindset to live in.
I'll give you a typical lib job explanation for how it effects me. It effects me because it gives me visions of punching them in the face. And I shouldn't have to have visions of violence like that while shopping in my local coop grocery store or if I'm around a pack of young LGBTQers.
Those masks.... they are inciting violence.
Now consider my question previously presented.
You driving to down town MPLS to have a stranger in your vehicle for 20 minutes, for a total of an hours worth of work, at 11pm, for any less than 100 bucks an hour? Cuz I wouldn't.
Many of these Uber/Lyft drivers have come from countries that make downtown Minneapolis look like paradise.
I don’t understand the point.
Everybody has a price and everybody can decide.
What I'm going for is in order to make it actually work from the employee standpoint there is no way in hell it would be affordable for the consumer.
They sign up for it and send themselves. Again, this is America, freedom. Freedom to choose if you want to drive for Uber or Lyft or not.
Ah, gotcha. I do think there are drivers who will work for peanuts, but I don’t have an issue with that.
I agree it seems there’s a much greater likelihood it becomes unaffordable for riders. More drunk driving, less business downtown, etc .
I caught the flu last week and wore a mask when I had to run into Walgreens/ convenience store. I wonder if someone wanted to punch me in the face there
