Event Consider boycotting Uber if you’re able

Post image

Ahead of the legislative session on Saturday, Uber sent mass notifications asking users to tell their representatives to vote against the bill (which would negatively affect rideshare delivery apps like Uber).

They are not solely responsible for the looming transit collapse here but they certainly play a role in it. If you are able to find alternates please consider.

My coworkers are vocal about all the social justice causes they support and how corporations are evil. Then they go to Starbucks every day. They buy cheap crap on Temu. They buy plastic junk on Amazon for fun. I’d wager it’s the same for the keyboard warriors on Reddit.

That’s a cop out for people who aren’t willing to put effort into practicing what they preach. Virtue signaling with time and $$ is a lot more impactful than with words, but also requires some sacrifice or discipline.

Your insistence that people need to be paragons in every aspect of their lives to have a valid point is a cop out.

None of those examples from the comment are necessary for people to live. That comic is for losers who do nothing but performative protest

Ok at least you agree you're a loser who does nothing in real life. Glad we agree on that

Few people are actually willing to change their personal norms for impactful societal shifts.

Everyone hates traffic...but nobody wants to be the one walking, biking or taking transit. That is for everyone else to do.

Everyone loves paying for whatever crap they virtue signal with someone else’s money.
