Okay…

Give me the math of how this new wage would help you “make a killing”.

Keep in mind that this wage merely sets a floor for the specific-minutes when you have a fare.

• (And brother - driving for uber is not “running your own business”… it’s being maximally-exploited by a business… with no liability-protection, no security, and almost zero rights.)

If you wait 10 minutes for a fare… give a 20-minute ride to some suburban house… and then drive 20 minutes back to the city…

your pay would be $10.83 (with this new deal).

…that’s very different from $32.50 per hour.

• Does an airline baggage-handler only get paid for the “specific minutes” when he is lifting luggage?

• Does a cashier only get paid for “specific minutes” when there are customers in her line?

The original goal of this lawsuit was to classify drivers as employees under state law…

And that goal was ignored completely.

It’s not as much as it seems…

The wage is only “for time spent traveling to pick up riders, and transporting them to their destination”.

• No pay for driving back to the pickup area.

• No pay for waiting when there are no fares.

It’s a per-minute wage, and only for certain minutes.

Could you imagine… if someone spent a year on the JWST… then returned to earth…

how mellow that person would be.

I love the joy you feel from the appearance of a monarch - knowing what that signifies.

And I love the way you study the overall water channel.

I think you have to select multiple languages in settings.

Select “Undetermined, English, and any others” (and then save).

(this language setting affects the web app, mobile app, and search results)

That might fix it buddy.

Yes, I see the same glitch - in both local and remote unsubscribed communities:

• local: https://lemmy.ml/c/books
• remote: https://lemmy.ml/c/books@lemmy.world

Both “Subscribe” and “Block Community” are showing as plain text, yet they are probably meant to be a tags, like the “Create a Post” button:

• Create a post

Good catch - you could create an issue on the lemmy-UI issues

Yeah lemmy is a chill place.

It is wild to watch the rapid expansion.
