hobbesmaster posted:i just looked and hertz in the bay area is literally cheaper also hertz has a mileage limit of 180 miles per day. 180*30= 5400 miles/month Breeze has a limit of more than half that. It's literally worse than a rental in every way.

Luigi Thirty posted:I like how people are using "be your own boss! new economy!" as code for debt slavery and exploitation its because they can pretend theyre elites who choose to serve customers on their own terms, rather than obedient service monkeys caught between customer demands and an unfeeling manager. you can get a lot of mileage out of tricking poors into feeling like they're not poor in some way, form, or fashion my favorite example of that is one guy who turned up in d&d once and explained how he hated the minimum wage because he worked at a fast food place for minimum wage, and every time his managers gave him a raise for good performance, the minimum wage just so happened to go up by exactly the same amount a month or two later. he was super mad that he was earning these raises for working so drat hard and then big government came and gave all the lazy poors the same raise for nothing so he was never making more money than them despite his obviously superior skills the punchline being that minimum wage increases are announced years in advance, so his boss was just giving everyone their minimum wage increase a month or two early and taking credit for it in order to make them feel special and rewarded

breeze registers the car in your name, and you have to provide your own insurance. in other words, if you wreck the car, you, personally, owe breeze a lot of money. how many breeze drivers you reckon are getting livery insurance? personal policies ain't gonna pay out when they find out you were driving for uber
