Uber, Lyft, taxi, and delivery drivers need to form some sort of General Transporters' Union or some poo poo. IDK if that's even possible though.

maybe, or a co-op w/ an in-house programming team or something because it's a fairly unique situation where they own the industry's capital except for the central organizing structure

Cotton too, he's a real piece of poo poo even among that turderer's row of legendary pieces of poo poo.

Collins too probably because she's terrified of losing the base.

it's theoretically possible that some GOP member on SIC suddenly woke up and realized their own personal rear end was in the fire for no good reason at all.

Richard Burr, for example, who got outed by Mueller as a backchannel to the WH and might want to start disentangling himself from them before poo poo hits the fan.

lmfao okay SHM I'll donate $30 to an org of your choosing if the sergeant at arms arrests Barr, is that an acceptable toxx alternative?

you don't even have to match it like a dual toxx, i'll just do it

you should donate to whoever whenever you can, i wasn't saying anything was going to happen

it would be very interesting if anything came of holding him in contempt but I think Pelosi just feels she can bully Barr and get "red meat press" for the Dems, but she can't take on Donny.

So what kind of broken logic is behind the idea of calling an uber today, then canceling it as it shows up and paying in cash instead?

Like in general it's great advice to pay for and/or tip in cash wherever you can to service workers, because they routinely get their pay and/or tips stolen or otherwise hosed with by their employers. But why would I want to go through the effort to help someone who is actively being a scab?
