I can't figure it out.....
UBER is not a taxi cab service and not subject to local taxi cab regulations. Yet drivers (through UBER) pick up "customers" and charge a fee to get from point A to point B.
Is it because....."customers" are "friends?" And thus, regulating such a private deal is NOT within the purview of taxi cab and/or most any other regulators/regulations?
Someone, clue me in. If they're playing with words.....then IMHO.....it's a sham.
Shades of the, you're not an employee....you're a 1099 independent contract worker, B.S. Mind you that I'm not saying that an UBER driver isn't self employed (with alot of help from UBER).
Aloha, Mark
NY Taxi medallions went for over 1.25 million. each.
one of them recently killed himself blaming Uber competition.
Personally I think the cab companies should demand all their money back - every medallion, license, training, all of it.
but that is a whole different thing.
- hmmmm -- will a self driving uber take you to a gun range?
