Service before Uber was non-existent with a monopoly controlling the market. Uber, Lyft and their ilk introduced competition into a stagnant monopoly. And yes, I supported them with my dollars. Eventually they also started nickel and diming we the paying public. Now, there’s no service anywhere and all the whores are mimicking each other, so I’ve abandoned my “new” whore for an “old” whore.
The race to the bottom of the barrel is complete. Service matters naught. Only money. There were never any local options: a cab monopoly whore, they the likes of Uber who became whores, and now a whole ecosystem of money-grubbing whores.
Fuck you for thinking anything else…
pubquiz@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•The official Letter to Malaysia declaring Tariff rate Increases2·25 days agoSooooo glad he won, and now we get to watch him shit all over centuries of foreign affair and military diplomacy. It’s not “drill, baby, drill”.
It’s fascism and classism holding hands and chanting: “Shit, baby, shit”.
How does anyone not see the complexion of the population and not see a breeding ground for racist fascists? Over 76% of Ablertans are white. In BC it’s 46% whities. So go fuck all the way off, dickheads. We are inclusive, welcoming Canadians not rabid, NIMBY nazis. Deport yourselves to your true home in the despotic usa.
pubquiz@lemmy.worldto Canada@lemmy.ca•At least 11 Toronto speed cameras vandalized this week217·30 days agoYes, yes, ban all cars, cars bad, drivers bad, noxious exhaust bad, aggressive drivers bad, and so on and so on, ad infinitum. See y’all in December-March at -400C on your electric scooter that is totally non-polluting (what? is electricity totally non-polluting?) trying to navigate uncleared, dilapidated, pot-holed. roads to get anywhere.
Or better still, let’s spend billions beginning with car-friendly infrastructure destruction; neglect regular road, bridge, and tunnel maintenance; and create nodes of community: 15-min walking cities. (*walking times vary by mobility, weather, and your health).
Well, villages.
Well, enclaves.
Well, compounds.
Do car-haters ever think farther than the end of their noses? Do they know what cause and effect is? Do they understand that 15-min walking cities make NIMBY communities? New mental health facility? NIMBY. New correctional facility? NIMBY. New addictions treatment center? NIMBY. Who gets them? The Untermensch who cannot afford to resist their placement.
All in the name of regressing away from cars and making tribal enclaves of like-minded, equally righteous, and (perhaps, most importantly) fiscally advantaged homogeneity.
Hating on cars is the tissue paper veneer of classism and, by extension, racism.
You really want to fight climate change? Too late: you have missed that during your fixation on one aspect (exactly as the petro-industry wanted) of the fight. Now start looking at how you’re going to survive it’s effects. Cause while you were raging against cars, we have passed the PNR on climate devastation.
And if your scooter doesn’t have A/C, it’s pretty useless in the April-November +400C period as well. Because that’s what climate change is: extremes.
pubquiz@lemmy.worldto Canada@lemmy.ca•At least 11 Toronto speed cameras vandalized this week102·1 month agoI like reminding my friends in professional law enforcement that these cameras are exactly what losing your job to a machine is about.
Ummm… 'cause I left half an hour after you, caught up, and can’t pass.
Yet.
Canada is 9,984,670sq km with a population density of 4.5/sq km. That’s ~2.2m routes to see all Canadians 5-times a week.
The UK is 244,376sq km with a population density of 286/sq km. If there was universal coverage that’d be about ~1000 delivery-person-routes per day. So delivering a route is orders of magnitude easier, faster, and simpler for the workers at the Royal Mail.
If the UK only had once a day delivery they’d be 0.045% as efficient as thier Canadian counterparts.
EVEN WITH twice daily delivery the Royal Mail has less than 1% the efficiency of CUPW workers.
With that said, both face external (couriers) and internal (government) pressure to profit.
Ask yourself this: as a service to citizens of both countries, what other public services have to make a profit? National Defence? National Healthcare? National Police?
None do because privateers have already raped and pillaged those services for maximum profit as suppliers. So they don’t get lobbied the same - or even compared.
No, just Postal services with their well developed contact with the communities they serve are singled out to be profit centers for cash hungry politicians.

Over a million dead trolls. That’s a start.
pubquiz@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump DHS Memo Warned Of Attacks Like Minnesota Shootings22·2 months agoSo the memo clearly defined this outcome as pure terrorism. Will the fed prosecute one of the most clearly defined domestic terrorists since McVeigh as such or paper over this criminality with bogus mental health bullshit?
I give bullshit a 99% chance on this one given the fake-president’s penchant for pardoning violent criminals who commit crimes on his behalf and in furtherance of his aspirations.

And a plumber.

Me too, whenever possible, otherwise I back in to show off my superior driving (and parking) skills.
pubquiz@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump accuses Biden's team of 'treason' as he changes tune on former enemy1252·2 months agoEvery accusation is an admission. Donnie is accusing Biden of EXACTLY what is going on right now: a decrepit old fart machine is the windbag mouthpiece of hitler and goebbels admirers turning the cesspool of the us in a BIGGER cesspool. And if grandpa-senility croaks (or gets Luigi’d) nothing will change because ol’couch-fucker is a brainless twat, too.
Ride a bike, it’s free - no taxes (fuel). Or drive a car and pay for the road the cyclists need. It’s quite simple. Take automobiles OUT of the equation and watch municipal. provincial and federal taxes sky-rocket. Livable cities? SURE!! They’ll cost you, though, so don’t be like every other NIMBY-cyclist and thing it’ll be some kind of free utopia.
Racist and tone deaf. Tracks for pigs. I’ll allow it.
