Comment Re:Wow...people did this? (Score 1) 27

I tried to do it, actually.

1. I have no need for extra money.

2. I drive an oddball 2 door electric so Uber and Lyft said no.

3. I would love to help someone get to a destination cheap or even free if I'm heading that way.

I scheduled rides (even to the store, etc) way in advance and never had a single bite -- even though I live in a very busy area and drive to very busy areas.

I would LOVE for Google to connect me to riders, even if it was free, just so I could help folks out.

I have zero fear of someone kidnapping me. I'm armed anyway.

I bought my first Rolex at the age of 19. Iâ(TM)m 49 now. Iâ(TM)ve worn it for 30 years. It still works as accurately as it did 30 years ago. Itâ(TM)s my daily driver and it looks like it: abused and work in the ocean and sailing and playing sports and working out at the gym.

I figure Iâ(TM)ll get another 40 years out of it.

Say it cost me $20,000 in 1993. I expect to get 26,000 days out of it. $1 a day?

I have a ton of friends who get a new iwatch every year. $600.

I got the better end of the deal.

Im a US citizen and just profit from the mindless false duality.

If my fellow citizens want to give up freedom and transfer wealth to me voluntarily, Iâ(TM)m happily paying for those social media ads.

Rather than fight Putin and bankrupt tens of millions of poor Americans, Iâ(TM)m an isolationist who wants to trade with everyone so we are truly the richest nation across all income levels.

They are a huge Defense Department crony. They are not some amazing college of engineers but a terrifying group of murderers.

Do not believe their space nonsense.
