Comment on Uber and Lyft now required to pay Massachusetts rideshare drivers $32 an hour
Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 days agoI’m not arguing that this is a good deal or met whatever goal. I’m just saying it’s an upgrade. Also, as a former uber driver, there are strategies to make the best use of your time. If this new wage applied to my location I would buy a car and make a killing. That said, I’m in the minority that prefers to run their own business rather than be an employee so if I have to be a wage slave again then no thanks.

Okay…
Give me the math of how this new wage would help you “make a killing”.
And before you say “I’ll just maximize the minutes when I have a customer in the vehicle”…
this wage wouldn’t kick-in for that scenario…
…it merely sets a floor for those specific-minutes when you have a fare.

Both can be true! There’s a reason I quit that shit years ago.

I’m waiting for the math… Support your claim that you would “make a killing”.
I don’t see how you would…
The most you could possibly make would be $32.50 in an hour… (and that’s ONLY if you had a fare for ALL 60 minutes of an hour… and somehow still made less than $32.50 from those fares).
…And you’d be driving your own car and burning gas for that whole hour…
So show me (with math) how you’d be “making a killing”.

No. I’m not wasting any more time with you. Watch the videos if you want.
