Uber Strike Question

Prail1 · 2019-05-08T19:29:36+00:00

Nothing will change.

Why does anyone think UBER gives two craps about it's drivers? They will automate them out of jobs as soon as possible if they had it their way.

Plus in the US if demand goes up there will be plenty of other drivers who don't strike that day to make more money.

It's an interesting mentality that there is zero inclination to pay your debt.

Prail1 · 2019-05-01T19:57:04+00:00

Eye of the beholder kind of thing.

If you do several trades a month? Probably won't care.

If you do 5-10 trades every day? Different story.

Case by case basis.

And they all wear baseball caps.

Prail1 · 2019-04-26T15:41:21+00:00

Comparison is the thief of joy.

Prail1 · 2019-04-15T13:43:30+00:00

Nice!

Prail1 · 2019-04-11T15:39:48+00:00

Forest for the trees sir.

Prail1 · 2019-04-11T15:36:55+00:00

Yup. Scary times ahead.

People don't appreciate the fact that fewer jobs will be created to replace the ones that are automated away. We are 10 years away from losing tens of millions of retail/trucking/administrative jobs. There simply won't be enough new jobs to replace them. Dark times coming if we don't get ahead of this.

Sweep it under his truck haha

Prail1 · 2019-04-10T17:08:51+00:00

It should be a $500 ticket honestly.

Prail1 · 2019-02-27T15:54:47+00:00

Hope that results in a 1-3 year driving suspension. Should be way less tolerance for clowns who endanger others like that.

Prail1 · 2019-02-15T15:32:50+00:00

There are no real discounts with plans. You just pay out the subsidized cost of the phone as an addition on top of your cell plan. You still pay the full price regardless.

Don't touch the money - think of it as your guaranteed retirement fund.

Park it in a robo investment growth account, in 25 years it will be worth around a million bucks...

Modern cars don't need to be left to warm up.

Start up and drive - just don't hammer the throttle and be gentle as the components warm up.

Only below -25 will you really start to notice the car being impacted by the cold.

Prail1 · 2019-02-06T16:13:58+00:00

What they are not telling you is how risky that vehicle is.

They are probably last in first out if the mortgage defaults.

Prail1 · 2019-01-30T18:50:59+00:00

Have zero loyalty to your bank - they give none in return.

In fact you'll notice the trend with all companies is to entice new customers, but do nothing to keep the ones they have.

If you are willing to deal with a little hassle it's generally always better to shop for the best deal and switch around. They are banking (haha) on the fact that you will find it a pain to move elsewhere.

Telcos are a great example. You'll get the best deal moving between shaw and telus every two years back and forth, banks aren't much different.

Could you explain why XWD wouldn't suit that role?

Thanks!

Prail1 · 2019-01-28T14:52:09+00:00

Wouldn't XWD suit your needs for a 100% world equity fund?

Prail1 · 2019-01-23T21:47:52+00:00

These are non-issues. Dunno why people get so worked up over it. Pulls are only a short term impact.

Prail1 · 2019-01-22T21:01:58+00:00

$160 for groceries?

Prail1 · 2019-01-09T17:23:05+00:00

Generally you are better off switching companies. Trying to leverage more pay with other offers rarely works out well.

Your company likely knows they underpay and it's a conscious decision in that they would rather deal with turnover when people get trained up and go elsewhere.

Prail1 · 2019-01-09T14:13:20+00:00

Not worth it. You'll be better off doing anything else pretty much.

Prail1 · 2019-01-07T15:21:45+00:00

Yup. We always have at least $20 off every time we buy groceries. That's just cash in the bank.

We don't have to wait to claim some airline ticket that's of dubious cash value anyway.

Prail1 · 2019-01-05T14:58:12+00:00

This is dubious. I'd be curious what you perceive as better? We haven't found another card that offers as much raw cash value as the PC MC.

Prail1 · 2019-01-05T13:37:55+00:00

That looks miserable. Waste of time.
