It undermines the taxi driver strike, the purpose of which is to make oppression costly.

Solidarity.

ah...did not know about a taxi driver strike...I'm conflicted, though. Are Uber drivers considered taxi drivers in NY?

I pretty sure UBER doesn't give a **** and wants to make money, but turning off surge pricing may do the exact opposite of undermining the taxi strike. The people at the airport are stuck and will pay whatever. However, if they turn off surge pricing, fewer drivers will want to go there, which means more people stuck at the airport, which is what the taxi drivers wanted to accomplish.

I have done plenty for MY country. It's about time the USA does what's best for the USA. Canada can take over being the worlds police and savior.

Everyone wants to feel good about themselves donating to the ACLU lol.

Look at me look at me I donated to the ACLU.

Adding to the confusion is the fact that the protestors also need to get there and back somehow and having uber availalbe for that will help them as well.

Not sure what better move Uber could have made. I don't think they can ask Uber drivers to not service the airport? People should also have ways to get home.

No, but undermining the strike would essentially be acting as scabs/strikebreakers. Usually the solidarity would be with the strikers, but in this case it's really with those affected by the executive order. At any rate, if Uber swoops in to take taxi business now, they're taking advantage of the taxi drivers' attempt to resist this fascist.

So I haven't been keeping up with anything all day. Can I get cliffs? Also on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the most embarrassing how bad is this for Trump? How embarrassing does this look to the rest of the world?

Any statements from the GOP/Trump yet?

Threw on Fox to see what Trump is watching. Just a Kellyanne interview, not covering protests or this ruling.

Really, don't bother wasting time on people like this. Look through his other posts, he's like a dumb 14 year old posting from his parent's basement.
