Pragmatic?

Here's a service. Uber for kids. Are you offended by this too?


Are the employees only kids? Does it only hire kids?

(I'm not offended, I just think it's a blatant use of reverse sexism. )

I wanted to be offended, but let the market decide. If there's a place for this, they'll be successful, good for them. BUT, I don't want to hear shite from "women" about discrimination again. We all know the media and "advocacy" outrage if there were a men-only Uber/Lyft.

If they can have theirs and be successful, congratulations and stfu when men try it.

I'd wait until they became successful and sue the shite out of them for discrimination (if I had no hope in life). All you gotta do is wear a dress to court.

We had a long thread on it last week. It violates many state and local statutes, executive orders, and municipal ordinances banning discrimination based on gender, but it does not run afoul of federal law regarding public accommodations.

Company will be out of business in a year. Their insurance will skyrocket with all those women drivers.

This will fail miserably. Hot chicks already have a ride home from the club. And if they wait long enough, the ugly ones will too.

I hope they charge by the minute, because women driving other women around will never reach their destination.

I disagree with this. As a woman, I do not want to entrust my life to woman driver. We suck at driving.

How will they enforce this policy now that we have learned you can have a penis and be a woman and have a vagina and be a man?

I don't have a problem with this. It seems like a good idea, really. Women don't even drive Ubers/Lyfts at night due to safety concerns

No -- it doesnt stop me from getting in an uber/lyft as usual. If this company wants to cut off potential revenues by at least 50% of the population off the bat, then that is their own issue.

Uber shitted on the taxi market in a move to benefit themselves, the drivers and stop the taxis from ripping us off. Taxis are a little more honest where Uber service is near. And they stay on top of their revenue angles. I seriously doubt this happens.
