I'm no fan of Uber (I think they're a sleazy company that tries to get around regulations and proper insurance by using words like "ride sharing" when they are a transportation company). However, I have no sympathy for idiot on TV whining about his mortgage payment being in jeopardy because of his Uber bill. If his mortgage payment is in jeopardy, it's because he's an idiot who does stupid things while drunk and then expects to be saved from himself.
I believe that he accepted the price at the time, perhaps not being able to figure out what it meant in his inebriated state, but so what? Did he really think that having someone drive him around Edmonton for over an hour on New Years Eve was NOT going to be crazy expensive? He likely needed this lesson and I'm just disappointed Uber cut his bill in half.
