I think journalists got bored writing about the evil empire. Too busy writing about Trump right now. The other evil empire.
Yippeeee, Massachusetts got $7m. How many drivers are there in Mass?

Nobody went to jail for this? Once again, the money took care of everything Uber must find it so easy

Do I now just wait for the check?
The math is easy on this. $148M / 57M people. That’s less than $2 for each of us.
Remember a huge portion of the $148 goes to the lawyers
