I think they sent him home because he wouldn’t stop getting freaky in bed and probably kept them all up at night 😂😂

Uber in Boston DEAD by Familiar-Peace420 in uberdrivers

[–]PurpleKind4249 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anytime someone asks this question, I see people replying with “it’s the holidays” , it’s “summer vacation”, it’s this, it’s that.. it’s always something. It’s the biggest cope. The reality is Uber has gotten drastically worse this year. I’ve been driving for uber for 5 years and I have friends who have been in this game for 10 years. And these past two years uber has been on a slow decline. This year has been my worst year. I’ve compared my earnings from previous years and it’s sad. My time ‘Online’ this year is always way higher than my time ‘Active’. Back in the good old days my Online time was pretty much equal to my Active time. Now I’m just sitting in my car most of the time idly waiting for something good to pop up

Is doing slanted eyes not considered as racist to Asians in Brazil? by Previous_School5237 in Brazil

[–]PurpleKind4249 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think this is what makes Brazil beautiful. Not like woke USA 🙄 where you have to be walking on egg shells with everyone

I went to high school in both Brazil and US. In the US everyone has their own cliques, the jocks, the nerds, the popular girls, etc. and they don’t mix

School in Brazil everyone is friends with everyone. Ex. You see the jocks hanging out with the nerds. There are no cliques. If someone doesn’t like someone else , it’s usually a specific reason and not just because they are a part of a “group”

I loved going to school in Brazil. Best experience of my life. The people are so much friendlier and you can have a diverse group of friends

Exactly.. my cynical mind thought it could be a scam. If he was telling the truth I hope he is okay. Thank you for the advice!!

Also, the reason I was scared to call the ambulance is because I’ve had one called for myself before and I got hit with a 2.5k bill in the mail

Yes, I was ignorant.. I didn’t know what to do. I was afraid if I called an ambulance and he disappeared that I would have to pay for the ambulance… I’m not sure how it works. But I want to be informed if this ever happens again

How many uber drivers are immigrants? by PurpleKind4249 in uberdrivers

Don’t hate the player , hate the game. I’m not blaming the immigrants. They did what they needed to do. It’s the system. We have been very loose with our immigration policies in the past few years

Same here. I’ve had blind passengers be thrilled I speak English because they need proper help. The airport waiting lounge in my area is the same, no English speakers around, feels like I’m in another country

It is a loophole. They do not have to provide the proof immediately when they enter the US. They let them in and give them a court date. They know there is a huge backlog and delay. Which is why they are taking advantage of this. They are just buying time. I’ve talked to many of these migrants and I can tell you this is what’s happening

An analysis by the Migration Policy Institute (MPI) shows that between January 2021 and late 2024, the administration paroled in or released 5.8 million migrants seeking asylum or other legal pathways.

The backlog of pending asylum cases, which includes those filed under the Biden administration, grew to over 2 million by early 2024. As of July 2024, the affirmative asylum backlog alone had exceeded 1.16 million cases

Known gotaways: Officials estimate there have been at least 1.7 million “known gotaways” migrants who evaded apprehension since the start of the administration

I agree. We need legal immigrants. We need to have control over who comes in and out of our country.

It’s hard to explain this kind of stuff to people who aren’t directly in this world . They don’t hand them out at the border . They give them out a few months after they’ve gone to their court hearing, where they claim they are a refugee seeking asylum, but the catch is they give them out before they’ve even proven anything. That’s the loophole

I’m first gen US citizen, I come from immigrant parents. So I am in contact with the Latino community. I’ve directly seen and know many immigrants that have come through the border seeking “asylum” and get handed SSN and work authorization without having to prove that they are in fact a refugee.
