Was the avocado toast bit above your head or are you just generally oblivious to sarcasm?

Both sides? Do you make the same argument for hearing from literal Nazis? You just need to weigh the arguments for and against the final solution? I'm not directly calling Libertar…

You're right, the better solution is use taxpayer to bail out shitty companies that can't survive temporary economic slowdowns.

I don't understand. I agree. What is your point? We're talking about why people may not be interested in moving to the Bay Area...

So the capitalists that get massively rewarded for taking risks now get bailed out when those risks turned out bad? Sounds like BS to me.

They should have had an emergency fund of 6 Months of expenses for emergencies. Maybe they should stop eating so much avocado toast.

>SF and NYC are not the only tech hubs in the US. Also confused. I agree with your point. My comment was responding to a person who couldn't imagine people who wouldn't move to SFB…

"Learn to program" People are still repeating this meme? But seriously while Uber and other companies are laying off thousands it's probably one of the worst times to try to enter …

Yeah and how'd the Heat do the year after Lebron went back to Cleveland? Spoiler: after just making a trip to the finals the previous season they had a losing record and didn't eve…

This comment is laughable. They swept Cleveland in the first round and took NY to 7 Games and the Knicks then took the Rockets to 7 Games in the Finals.

We barely have the capability to put people in LEO reliably but you think we're landing on the moon in 4 years? Seems ludicrous.

Serioulsy I mean Jordan was winning scoring titles for years before he won a ring and when he took a year off to play baseball the Bulls were within an inch of the Finals and possi…

> Sure Lebron has not won as many championships as Jordan (Lebron's 3 to Jordan's 6) He's won 3 and also been to 9 in a row, not a small feat. A little confused by the rest of your…

Yes. That's my point. Uber is not essential, it is a luxury.

Because the Grandfather comment was about classifying Uber as an essential service when it's clearly not as demonstrated by yours and other comments. Using Uber a few times a month…

So a luxury that you can normally get by without? You seem to be strengthening my argument that it's not essential. I think my point is being missed though and that is that using U…

Well in an argument about Nationwide social policies your opinions and anecdotes are perfectly irrelevant and useless.

>Once you've smothered the competition in investor money, you're free to raise prices to profitability and beyond. That's the theory at least. How much can Uber realistically raise…

I have seen Europeans spit on people in my country and treat them badly. I as an American have seen it and have become wary of trusting Europeans. I saw it with my own eyes so ther…

So you're saying Uber is a luxury. So it's not essential.
