Comment It was never intended to be a full-time gig (Score 1) 28

The Ride Share services were intended to use excess capacity of cars when the owner was willing and able to drive. Or to put it another way, guys make a few bucks with their car when they're not working their regular job.

Unless Uber or Lyft prohibits drivers from leaving their service, it seems to be a personal decision by the car owner/driver to determine if the money they get in exchange for sharing their car is worth it.

Comment No sense of economics (Score 1) 260

""Two years ago the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) offered $15,000 to anybody -- literally anybody -- who could come up with an idea to speed up airport security..." writes Popular Science."

So if someone did come up with such a great idea, why not implement it themselves and make more than a relatively paltry $15K for coming up with an idea of that could save millions.

" This is in clear violation of the spirit of the law "

If this was common law, you might have a point.

But there is no "spirit of the law" in tax law nor in corporate contract law. The law is about the "letter of the law.

If you disagree, tell the IRS you won't pay your taxes, because their laws are a "clear violation of the spirit of the US Constitution".

Let us know how that works for you.
