  • Bad gig drivers moral conundrum

    Jump

  • The business model incentivizes it by not paying a wage. This is an example offer:

    This isn't even the worst one I've seen today, and I only do this part time for extra money.

    By all means, report safety issues. Get the bad driver canned. But if you stiff the driver too, and you knew the business model of the service you used, then you're just further incentivizing the bad behavior.

  • Gig work is tipped work. If they don't tip, the driver worked for free.

    The gig company "pays" the drivers a pittance, but it largely just covers a portion of the owner-operator's expenses. 100% of the net profit comes from tips.

    There are a handful of municipalities with unique laws which do not fit this model; but outside of those areas, that is straight up how it works.

    Now, should the driver be reckless? No, that should be reported. But stiffing them won't change anything.

  • Worse, to me, is that there is a perfectly grammatically correct way to be just as brief.

    Wrong:

    The bed sheets need washed.

    Right:

    The bed sheets need washing.

    Is there a name/term for this abomination? I've only ever heard one person speak in that form (omitting "to be"), and it has haunted me ever since.

  • Unless you habitually carry your passport

    This would be a good time to remind everyone that you can actually get a passport card that will fit in your wallet:

    The U.S. passport card is a wallet-sized, plastic passport that has no visa pages. The card is proof of U.S. citizenship and identity, and has the same length of validity as the passport book.

  • They can’t even blame third party voters this time around because from the current tallies it wouldn’t have made a difference.

    Wat. Michigan and Wisconsin alone were so narrow that the third-party candidates received multiples of the difference.

    That's twenty-five electoral votes right there. That would have flipped the election.
