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.

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.

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.

I respect you wardell but I know you realize there are many other choices besides suicide.
This is true and I personally would not resort to that for this gig but who are we to judge ? Those people did what they did for a reason. We don't know their specific situation completely and everyone handles things differently. We can't have the keep it moving mentality here though. Its about time action is finally being taken to right the ship before it sinks.

Some dudes had 4k a month interest payments.brutal. still bankruptcy would seem preferable, then again crushed dreams and broken hearts are a powerful thing

Even slaves were clothed and fed if they kept working.

So that's not really a selling point.
