An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

Fuck you, I drive so other people don’t have to.
By being eager to gauge people’s location in “the shitty pie”, you’re just admitting your (sic) a much large slice of the shitty pie
That just isn’t true, you just said you could ride a train. You choose not to, that’s a big difference.
But saying rail is significantly slower you narrow your nationality to maybe 5 major nations one happens to be significantly more represented on Lemmy. The “need” to drive safe over reaction to the guess means I’m almost certainly correct. Am I not?
Tbf to the guy you’re responding to, getting the extra 2-3 days of PTO necessary to take the train may also be a contributing factor. There’s a hidden work reform issue baked into this that also needs addressing.
There absolutely is, the fact that most other major countries get 6 weeks mandatory minimum and we have zero mandatory minimum is crazy.
They said they’re an Uber driver…
An optional “profession” that steals money from qualified taxis and is also super abusive towards its employees. That’s not an excuse, that’s an explanation an kinda of a bad one at that.
It’s not stealing if it doesn’t take it out of their wallet. Maybe the issue is instead the expensive restrictions on becoming a taxi driver? Or the virtual monopoly many taxi companies have. Or just that almost always a taxi is a worse experience.
That’s literally what it does. Taxis didn’t have monopoly, they have a licensed job specifically because unlicensed taxis were dangerous and people at the time were getting shanghaied.
Did Spotify steal from radio?
Do you have any source for that happening significantly more frequently with Ubers?
Radio is licensed to transmit at certain levels on certain frequencies, Spotify does not transmit in open air.
Point to where I said it was happening. I said taxis were licensed because of crazy shit like rapists driving people to word places and having at. You don’t get that with Uber.
You suggested it as if from my interpretation it was a problem with Uber. If not, what is? And again, how’s it any more theft than CDs stealing from record manufacturers
