Shifty Pony posted:uber has all the data they need to accurately estimate net income for drivers. they require you to disclose your car's year, make, and model which combined with their knowledge of miles driven is enough to get fleet average fuel economy/cost and depreciation numbers. it just isn't in their interests at all to do the calculation. they don't even have to do fleet average with that, they could do it literally for every driver, automatically. but if they're computing what their drivers will make after all taxes are taken out and vehicle depreciation and insurance taken out and such, it leaves more of a paper trail for someone to turn around and say represents that they think of their drivers as employees and they should be reclassed as such and back taxes + penalties paid. I really hope a state tries that tack and succeeds at it, even without such a paper trail.

uber claims to have made $500 million in revenues in san francisco last year. that's $597 per capita. $597 per person in san francisco, $597 for every man, woman, and child. how on earth are people spending this much money on cabs? and WHY ?

the bay area has a population of 7 million, so maybe that's the correct measure, so you'd be looking at "just" 71$ per capita, which is a lot more reasonable

As a Millennial I posted:lol i wonder what specific loophole they're trying to exploit requires this i'd imagine that if drivers start classifying their cars for commercial use, then there might be some increased regulation uber could face, or the increased costs of insurance for commercial vehicles might make it public that the drivers are getting hosed. the san francisco uber numbers blow my mind, they must include SFO trips or the bay area or something. i know a LOT of people are supposed to be ubering everywhere, it's pretty much "expected" that if you're dating in SF, you send an uber to pick up your date, etc, but i only know two people who use uber, one of them stopped ages ago, and the other only uses it because uber is a sponsor for the organization she works for. anyone i know who gets rides ordered uses lyft or taxis. re: box: quote:Back in July 2014 Box raised $150 million in new funding. More than half of that $150 million will leave the building after nine months of operations. http://valleywag.gawker.com/vulture-capitalist-avoid-that-box-ipo-1681322525/+danlyons
