Once we include everything you have said correctly, then you really agree with everything I have said. Thank you.

Meanwhile, Uber drivers often make far less than they realize. $5 profit for a half hour fare is profitable? Yes. It explains so much dissension among Uber and Lyft drivers. Of course, the business model makes it almost impossible for them to Unionize. So is it really a business - or a hobby?
