Just an example of why Uber/Lyft is needed in cities: recently a friend and I went to Las Vegas. At airport, my friend took a taxi to the hotel, cost was $65. I took Lyft to the same hotel, cost was $24. My driver was exceptional, very clean and nice car (a rather newish BMW 3 series). So, tell me who is "surge pricing"/cheating customers more?
Will we ever stop sucking at the teat of backward, oppressive, terrorist-funding beasts like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain? That's the real travesty of progressives, giving these assholes license to silence and torture and kill simply because progressives are such pussies. "Oh, we can't deny them their freedom to deny others freedom". Kiss my ass. Cut them off, don't give them a voice to be heard.
You can bet that many of the Facebook "moderators" are graduates of the Tumblr School of Social Justice Warriors. They're triggered by words like "it" or "them" and cannot see anything that doesn't remind them of that time someone looked at them. OMG looked at them!
I wrote my two senators (Johnny Isakson and David Perdue, both Republican of course) about TPP and how it is a terrible deal for America and only benefits the few huge multinational corporations. They both responded with the exact same form letter telling me how wonderful TPP is and how it will help America get ahead of China. The exact same letter, from both. I wonder which lobbyist wrote it?
You've spouted the biggest load of bullshit I've read in weeks. And that's after reading transcripts of Trump speeches. If you cannot understand the concept of "free speech", please sod off, or go join Erdogan with the sheep.
Comcast is already allowing their content to be sent to Roku boxes and Samsung Smart TVs, so their claim that they can't support 3rd party equipment is a blatant lie.
I wish I could strike all Forbes links from my Google News aggregator. They take up space that could be served by other sites. As it is now, I just avoid any links going to Forbes because I am NOT going to turn off my adblocker.
USTR is nothing more than a sycophantic Hollywood lackey that would institute Great Firewall tactics here and elsewhere. They must lick the boots and arseholes of Sony/Disney/Comcast daily for their sustenance. USTR is far more dangerous than any terrorist group, and countries like Ecuador recognize that. Sadly, too many other countries don't.
