A billionaire’s kid ruined a perfectly functional company/division due to being a poor judge of character and overly greedy?

Here’s my surprised face: -_-

So glad that the court system is working efficiently. This happened in 2020 and we’re only just now going to trial for it in 2024.

Yeah, I’m not completely getting this. The article reads as if the study was done just to waste time and really they wanted to propose their “if rideshare is done sustainably” suggestions.

I live in a place where a car is basically required for normal life. As such, my experience with ride-share services is exclusively when I’m traveling and thus don’t know the area super well. Ride-share rides “replace” a transit ride, yes, but in that it’s theoretically possible to have taken a different option, but does that mean that the public transit option is good or reasonable at that time or place?

Like, if my party and I have been out drinking for a while and are leaving, could we theoretically walk to a nearby subway station and figure out a couple of changes and get back home? Probably. Is it a lot easier to go “Hey Lyft/Uber please pick us up and drive us home while I wobble drunkenly in the back seat”? Yes. Does this count as a “replaced” ride? If ride-share didn’t exist, I would have had to take the public transit option (which is assuming that normal taxi’s didn’t also exist). If I knew I wouldn’t be able to ride-share home though, is there a serious chance that I would have just not done what I wanted and instead done something else while staying sober so that I could public transit home? Yes, definitely.

Ride-share to me just opens a new list of possibilities. If I know I’m relying on ride-share and I’m not worried about the cost, the list of things I can do goes up. It gives me more options for my evening. Are we saying here that that’s a problem and that people should feel limited to what they can access via public transit? I mean, fair argument but I don’t agree with it.

I have a very simple reason for hating Concord and being slightly happy that it failed: They bait-and-switched the hell out of all of us with that reveal video.

You can’t build up an interesting world filled with characters like that and then give us a PvP-only hero shooter. Who do you think you are, old Blizzard?
