I can't wait for the headlines "crash kills family after drunk driver left with no choice but to drive after uber shut down". I'm so tired of this B.S. People who drink and drive are selfish menaces. If people choose to do it whether it is +15 or -100, they don't care about anyone on the roads except themselves.

Put your blame where it belongs, the people who choose to drink and drive.
No one is saying they are not grade A a$$holes, but expecting them to make good decisions on their own isn't really working right now is it. So a drunk driver leaves the bar at 2am, it's -30, no cabs. His options are to freeze to death or drive home since his car is there and it's a quick drive home. We can either point out that these geniuses should have made better plans before, cuz they have done such a bang up job of that so far, or provide more options to make it easier for them to do the right thing.


My biggest piss off from this whole Uber situation is wondering why cabbies get such special treatment and a nice safe protected industry. No other industry is like that, all at a time where I have watched our company cut 60% of its staff over the last year.
