We, of course, know. We share by Lyft taking the profit and us assuming the expense and taking the loss.

But the reason why Lyft (and Uber) are still (!) not profitable, is because there are legions of millennial middle management types making $200k+ per year off our backs who spend their days putting out this:

If you wish to puke, read their whole self-entitled Community Guidelines. Nowhere is willful obliviousness to the plight of the working class on better display than in that vanity product. And if you scroll through deep enough, you will find this new nugget, coming to the pax app near you soon:

So not only is Lyft raping the pax making them mad at drivers resulting in no tips (I got 2 (a whopping $4 total) in my last 31 rides), Lyft now ACTIVELY ENCOURAGES passengers to not tip the drivers, but "round up" for their favorite do-gooder cause. Probably PETA. Because animals are more precious than the guy driving you home. Or some such.

I guarantee you there's no option to donate to a charitable cause fighting endemic poverty among drivers, brought on by Prop 22.

I could never serve on their Driver Advisory Council. I would spend all my time there punching these entitled pricks in their faces.

Small business owners, any business owner look to future projected income. Fourth quarter of this year looks grimm. Prop 22 rates fully initiated, all the drivers that are currently on unemployment are back on the roads. The mothership Uber (Dara) already stated income will go back to pre-pandemic levels. (Lower than prepandemic with prop 22 pay rates) Business owners are always looking to grow business grow income. If you're looking at this as a business you're playing the wrong game. You're an employee now with flexibility.
