    Yah, that argument does nothing for me.
    Uber being a terrible company, which ruined an entire industry, acting like a vampire feeding on both it’s users and providers? That’s a good reason to not use them.

      Yea that’s cause you’re American and you could give a fuck about anyone else. Like Canadians who face open threat of annexation and current economic warfare from your fearless leader. This woman is Canadian. There is an extensive buy Canadian movement underway. She should have no use for Ubers services any longer for better reasons than they’re a terrible company.

        Do you believe everyone is always happy with everything their government does? Are you, with yours? I ask because it really sounds like you might think that.

        My argument is that Uber itself has directly done more than enough to be boycotted. Their entire business model from the very conception, was an obvious anti-competitive monopoly play. Saying Uber should be boycotted now, for something they aren’t even doing? It’s not a great reason.

        But maybe I’m wrong. Doing the right thing for the wrong reason, is still doing the right thing. So sure, welcome to the Uber Haters Club. How do you feel about Lyft? Can I mark you down for boycotting them, or any other rideshare, delivery, or gig-worker “jobs”?
