Hey guys, thanks for the security deposit chat, it reminded me to check Pennsylvania law and it turns out that my landlord is holding more of my money than he's allowed to hold.

PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) -

Popular app-based taxi company Uber announced Thursday it will leave Portland for three months.

In exchange, Portland Mayor Charlie Hales announced an expedited effort to re-examine city taxi laws.

Uber will stop pick-ups in the Portland city limits on Sunday evening. However, it says it will be back in town as soon as April 9.

If the city doesn't have new regulations in place by that point, officials will allow ridesharing companies like Uber to operate while they pursue a long-term solution, according to a statement from Uber.

"Uber is dedicated to curating and continuing a valuable and constructive relationship with Portland's lawmakers, working to create a regulatory framework that works for everyone, not just us. Not just the taxi cabs. Not just the city officials. Everyone," the Uber statement said.

City officials said a task force will begin meeting next month to study and make recommendations about Portland's taxi system and how the city should handle companies like Uber. Some of the topics that will be addressed are a regulated pricing system, a limit on permits granted and whether there should be mandated criteria like insurances, inspections and background checks.

Findings will be addressed at an April 9 city council hearing, and the Portland Bureau of Transportation will then be immediately directed to issue permits based on the council's approval of mandated safety recommendations.

Uber will continue to operate in metro area cities like Beaverton, Gresham, Hillsboro and Tigard.

James Kuntzler covered exactly this in The Geography of Nowhere. It's impossible to make a private space like a mall a public space because the point of public space is that you can do what you want (loosely within the law). As soon as there are management and security there to tell you to gtfo if they don't like you, it ceases to be a gathering space.

milk is only 122 g/lb according to http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/13/food-water-footprint_n_5952862.html

also eggs: 395 (and chicken: 528) so you could drink eggnog and it'd waste less water than fuckin almond milk

this is a great post, and i'm certainly not suggesting anyone should applaud uber any more than they applaud mcds or whatever other corporation when it behaves the way corporations behave (as badly as possible). but imo if you're part of the industry then you are standing next to those fuckers, and we should all admit this. it's not something to celebrate, but definitely something to recognize. our industry as a whole exists to automate entire classes of people out of their jobs, and the only jobs we create are for other tech workers, or low paying work for those who fill in the tech gaps (beep boop i pres butan i drive uber car). we get paid cushy salaries because this is what we do. we create profits for companies at the expense of middle class labor
