This is why you lost. This is why your party controls nothing. This is why you have so miserably failed to help the people you supposedly care about.
Take the W, man! It is literally impossible for you to screw up this news cycle! But yeah, let's get all self-righteous about deleting Uber because...wait, what? I guess Uber was just supposed to take their service from JFK offline?
Let's look at the options here:
1) Take service from JFK offline, somehow, and if you're an Uber driver of modest means who just wants to make some money, or a traveler of modest means who just wants to get home to their family, **** you, get bent.
2) Turn off surge pricing to avoid the perception that you're profiting off people suffering, and also provide a de facto disincentive to drive additional service there, while allowing drivers to pick up there if they for whatever reason want to deal with all that chaos for the price of a regular ride.
3) Do nothing, leave surge pricing on, business as usual. Doing THIS would have driven MORE drivers to JFK! Do you know how supply and demand works? Jesus Christ.
4) Send out a missive ordering your NYC drivers to report to JFK immediately or be fired.
So, which option are SJW's all riled up about? Option 4, sure, that would deplorable. Option 3, I mean, the optics of that could be bad, but, I mean, that's how your business runs everywhere at all times, it's a free country, meh, whatever. But no, option 2, SCABS, OUTRAGERRRR!!!!
Dude. Evangelical leaders just came out in unison and opposed a Republican President. Republicans and moderate Democrats are having all kinds of difficult and unusual-for-them text and email and phone conversations right now that actually concern real social justice for marginalized people. This is the biggest narrative win for progressive politics maybe ever! Granted it sucks that it takes something like this for it to happen, but that's how progress is sometimes.
Dude, just go to Barbados with awval! Get out of the way! Just let these regular people talk amongst themselves about why this Trump EO is bad, and stop distracting them by yelling at them to delete Uber because you're trying to virtue-signal to the cool SJW kids about how you are totally onboard with this cool new band no one else has ever heard of or cares about.
If you were an NFL team, you'd be 0-16 right now. Your intentions don't matter, no one cares. You lost, you've been losing gradually for a long time now, you've been wrong about everything, you've been an abject failure. It seemed like you had been reflecting on this, but apparently that lasted about a week and now it's back to business as usual. Keep it up, I guess.
