Next week UBER will announce a 4.96 billion loss for the second quarter, what's a few billion amongst good friends?
Next week UBER will announce a 4.96 billion loss for the quarter, profits to follow?
Got to have that nicotine hit I guess 😆
Possibilities are endless 😆
Talk the talk but can they walk the walk? We'll fund out, I'm betting my money on not.
Thank you for reading the article, pass it along. I've been a driver for 4 years, I definitely know they're living in a subsidized fantasy land. Sometimes, I get a few that even complain about what they're paying, they think it's expensive, go figure. 😆
I agree, this gig is dead, full or part time.
Put yourself in Garett Camp's shoes, he was broke eight years ago, now he's worth 4.2 billion he created out of thin air, that kind of money would get to anyone's head, it shouldn't but unfortunately it does.
There are no winners in a war to the bottom, everyone loses, especially the driver. Wall Street has a funny way of looking at these companies, they need their future business. I have been short Lyft since it was 78, will stay that way.
Their second Q is out on the 8th, Lyft on the 7th, as my article suggests, there will be no profits for a long time, not sure Wall Street will be as kind as the VC.
They're both in a historically low margin business, UBER is in three areas where they say they're disrupting, disrupt a high margin business, then let profits roll in, not taxis, food delivery or helicopters.
Did you read my article? I posted the link, it's in the Rideguru Newsroom.
Thank you, I appreciate it. More to come, spread the word.
U/L know people are desperate. They take full advantage of it by slaving people. Karma is a bitch, their time will come.
Everyone was happy when TK was fired, DK turns out to be worse than him.
Good one. 😆
They kept 800, here's what the marketing department was working on, a new UBER driver app logo. 😆
It's great, congratulations Lyft, now do something good for your drivers.
They're creating designated drop off zones in Los Angeles now since residents are sick of them being dumped in front of their homes. Check out the thread I posted with a link to a video of sone dude in Texas riding one on the highway and crossing 4 lanes of traffic.
Good April fools joke
UberPro is a joke as everything else Uber does. UberPro diamond means that the driver accepts every crap ping they're sent. In fact only newbies fall for UberPro status since no veteran will be able to keep a 85-90% AR.
