Hard to believe. Sounds like Congress at Christmas. Trying to see what they can get away with by pushing it, knowing no one will retaliate. It is hard to believe that with Uber's constant lowering of pay outs for drivers, that anyone would have faith in their stock. Right down to stealing 30-50% off the top (not the payout) for some rides. Granted drivers have to agree to it and choose the mode... but many depend on the income and are so strapped... they have to bend over and take it until they can find more work. At this time, I would not want to be in business with them. If they are smart, I would think they would delay this IPO stuff, rather than selling a pipe nightmare. I mean please: Convince me I am wrong. Please.
That's because the rich and those in power are all in on the Uber game. They all invest in the company and their success depends on Uber's success. Little people on the Main Street can't win here.
Drivers' suffering are all priced into the valuation and its future profitability. Just like always, we are all just dancing on their palms. The sad thing I heard recently is that there's enough drivers to fill the market and hence these companies do not have to worry about retention. There are apparently enough poor people desperate enough to drive for low wages, and that's where the investors see an opportunity.
Amen.
I love it how all the Silicon Valley folks are losing their sh*t over this and the rest the world doesn’t really give a hoot. It affects us none. Can they just shut up.
spoiler alert: I won't be investing in either company. Waste of money!!
Way behind Lyft. How can they drop the ball like this.
Now there will be a precedence with Lyft by the time they go public. If lyft gets crushed then itll kill all the excitement and ruin the hype
Of course those who’ll lose are the loaded private equity firms, investors, etc. none that we care about. So whatever.
Uber is the way to go if your going to invest. That is where I would put my money if I had any.
Why would you invest money in a company with a billion dollar loss in one year?
Because FOMO. Fear of Missing Out... On losing your money 😂
When is Lyft officially going public?
They have already announced it.
Right on the heels of Lyft.
