whys he acting so smug and cancerous?! ... no wonder this company gets so much bad PR

>whys he acting so smug and cancerous?!

Highly successful CEOs are ALL sociopaths. Some just hide it better than others.

I really don't see the big deal. This was an aggressive conversation on both sides, and Travis is right, he's not responsible for this guy's bad investment.

Uber is like the modern day Rosa Parks. They engage in civil disobedience by breaking the laws protecting the taxi company cartel, carve out the market, and then Lyft and the others freeride off their hard work while having the audacity to market themselves as the moral alternative to Uber. This PR campaign is annoying. Good thing it will blow over in a month. Nobody outside of the HN bubble cares about this.

He didn't lose 97 thousand, he gave 97 grand to the CEOs

>Fawzi Kamel
Nothing of value was lost.

I can only understand like 25% of the words.

Can someone give me the tl;dr on how this guy lost $97k due to the Uber CEO?

(NYC Uber facts) 1) Uber made many drivers buy brand new luxurious cars (lexus...) thru their system and dropped those luxurious cars from UberBlack service to UberX (cheapest). 2) At the same time Uber was keeping 20% from the fare an changed it to 25% without informing drivers. 3) Uber lowered fares by 35% for a mile. So basically they screwed almost all NYC Uber drivers and now many of them left with a huge loan, longer hours of driving to earn same amount that they were earning before, very disrespectful riders and family that they need to provide. Don't judge them if you don't know shit about their scam!

Not a scam, guy signed up for it. It's no one's responsibility that he can't or refuses to read the terms of his agreement.

This guy is no different than a college student whining about loans they willingly took out.

This guy is really something.

Uber is cancer. Poorfags unable to afford a taxi walk.

What's your point?

These fucking SJWs having been trying to destroy Uber since they began.

>made

Okay. Thanks.

Well it's bullshit that Uber doesn't have contracts that are locked in.
If someone was told they could serve UberBlack with such and such car, they should have been locked into UberBlack for 2 years or something at least.
A contract service like Uber shouldn't be able to change its contract whenever it feels like retroactively. I don't see how that's legal.

But regardless, the guy could have sold his car and just lost a little bit of interest.

I bet that you voted for Trump.

Uber is based
Also that guy chose to be a driver, lol what a dumbass

How do you lose $97,000 going to work? Let's say you go full retard and buy a brand new car to work at uber. So you're looking at $30,000 and assume you make nothing back.

Net worth $6b, even if he lost uber, he would not give a fuck

Uber never gave a shit about what's legal.

Their whole model is to just do whatever they want, and drag it out in court. They know they'll make a fortune in the meantime and can funnel that money towards more lawyers.

Same shit every rich person does. You can't get ahead following the rules in a lawless society.

I have never ridden in an Uber, and probably never will.

T. Midwest

The reason Uber doesn't have this shit is because they are trying really hard to not make their clients into employees because it would greatly increase their legal responsibilities and destroy their profits.

Which is starting to happen anyway.

>midwest

You have no social life, a maximum of 3 friends and nowhere to go generally.

So this guy picked up 2 bar sluts?

>CAPTCHA: hotel 200m

But I never said they were employees.

I said they're contractors. And contracts tend to have limits and such, including term limits.

Also, a contract that is that horribly one-sided toward one party would not hold up in court due to not being in "good faith". ie: you can't get someone to sign a contract saying that they're be your slave as it won't hold up in court.

If their contracts are really like this, they're going to be sued into the ground and become worthless soon. It won't matter that they replace all drivers with self-driving cars, that future business will be taken away from them.

Or the nigger lives in a rural area.

Who fucking cares about taxi drivers, you don't have to know anything or have extraordinary physical abilities to become one. This is the most shit-tier job, they are meant to be piss poor.

>They took a risk and it didn't work out

How is that news?

If they're scamming then don't "work" for them, easy.

>1) Uber made many drivers buy brand new luxurious cars

>made

please explain how a company can force you to buy a car, one would think you'd have a choice to stop "working" for them.

If people want to be this retarded Uber deserves all the sheckles it's getting. sucking money from fucktards is kind of what every business relies on.

And if they fucked up so much then a competitor will step in and do it right, pull all the Uber drivers over and capitalism will continue to work just fine.

I know right. Some people wanna make $15 an hour doing stupid shit like working a register, or flipping burgers.

>bitches about freedom
>is a commie

what a fucking retard, shoot this guy on sight

Stallman is a liberalist, can't your read? stupid nigger cattle

no, he's a pedo communist, you absolute mong

It's not illegal technically, at least for now. They don't function like a taxi company.

Basically what they do is let you use the app that functions like paypal + google maps. The driver isn't their employee but as someone that's using their payment service for carpooling people.

Nigger cattle can't even read, resorts to shit bait, sad

I don't think Stallman even have a sexuality.

He was a hetero bull before becoming too fat and old

Freedom has its price.

He fucks plants nasally during company meetings.

Most people did :^)

Also orgies with parrots and plants.

>request an Uber to drive me home from the inner city
>he shows up quickly, opens the door for me and offers me a bottled water
>we have a nice conversation, I tell him about how fucking good I am at Overwatch and how I use Hydrus Network to automate my porn downloads
>he takes interest and says I am very wise
>get him to drive me through McDonalds, I was low on change so he gave me some coins to afford my mcnuggets
>drops me home, tells me he wishes me good fortune
>rate him 1 star

Hello rebbit

Taxi drivers are shit tier drivers and they kill people with their reckless driving

>6b

It's not midwest's fault that no one likes you and you have no where to go, you faggot

>Using Uber
Lol poorfags

>money I didn't make is money I lost
LMAO
k pal

Can I have a transcript? This paki's voice is disgusting.
>what if he does have some good points and it's not the case that if he sounds mentally challenged, he actually is

Kamel: “Competitors? Man, you had the business model in your hands. You could have the prices you want, but you choose to buy everybody a ride.”

Kalanick: “No, no no. You misunderstand me. We started high-end. We didn’t go low-end because we wanted to. We went low-end because we had to because we’d be out of business.”

Kamel: “What? Lyft? It’s a piece of cake right there.”

Kalanick: “It seems like a piece of cake because I’ve beaten them. But if I didn’t do the things I did, we would have been beaten, I promise.”


ok, that driver clearly has no idea

Of course he doesn't

Working class people are working class for a fucking reason

you deserve to have your soul torn apart

Did you not fucking read what he just wrote? They changed the terms of the aggreement, after they signed up, and without even telling them ( in some cases). That's fucking bullshit and they need to be taken to court for it, I'm sure this guy would if he could afford a fucking lawyer and had time to throw away at the case.

Not technology. Kill yourself.

> buying a 100k car to become an UBER slave
I don't want to show Schadenfreude but how stupid do you have to be? What did they expect?

>Uber drivers are retarded

Got it. This isn't news.
