As of late this forum has been flooded with people accusing certain groups of destroying other groups livelyhoods...?

I mean are uber drivers dropping dead because they can't afford food?

walking around naked because can't afford clothing?

Living in a tent because they can't afford rent or mortgage?

I mean driving isn't exactly a technical field, it has a low entry barrier... it was bound to be in the dumps at some point...

Tldr: stop blaming groups of people and just make the most of a crap situation because at the end of the day... blaming groups isn't going to make your life any richer if anything the hate will consume you...

Anyway, let's be civil, share your thoughts and opinions, keep it respectful.

Low entry barrier? You sure about that because I would say the barriers to entry in terms of costs are pretty high. There are just that many desperate people who think they can still make it in this industry

Cost to enter is not high... tlc class, wheelchair, and license fee... all under a 1k... the exam is a joke...

The no-tech, low-skill dude at the driver's seat might change your fate and destiny. Ride at your own risk. Good luck.

That's with anything, the minute you step outside a lot of things are out of your control.

Funny you said this back then. Who would have thought 9 months later, 6 fhv/taxi drivers commit suicide because of financial issues caused by this gig.

I respect you wardell but I know you realize there are many other choices besides suicide.

Attockpak1 there are of course better or different choices but you can only think this way when your mind is straight.
When you are depressed , your mind works/thinks differently. Once unthinkable might become a must do.

I am by no means judging them for their decisions, to each their own. But, that being said I wish they, and anyone else would explore other options. I currently am on psych ward rotations and there are many options such as mental rehab, cognitive behavioral therapy, and medications. I understand the feeling of hopelessness but I also know and want everyone else out their to know there is help always available.
