One's a reliable job and one is on uneasy ground because of the obstacle that paying their employees provides?

One of my friends rents a car for Uber and times his work around when big events let out to take advantage of the surcharge. He says he wouldn't recommend it as anything but a sidegig though.

That's what I was saying I'm the first place though. The whole conversation started around side gigs.

I’m still ahead counting from the point where I got a cheap car.

I lost money betting on Real Madrid Vs Munich something but I chased that loss (something I’m not supposed to allow myself to do by my own rules- chasing losses is how you can really get in trouble) and bet on a draw for Juventus vs some team Milan and that more than covered the Real Madrid loss. Right now it would literally be betting rent and I’m not going to do that.

And jwb, Uber won’t allow my car. It’s an oil leaking everything leaking no ac jalopy. ****. Whenever I ride in a Uber I think if you didn’t buy this nice ass car you wouldn’t have to bitch out to Uber.

All I'm saying is pizza delivery seems like worse money. They get what... Around minimum wage plus tips? Plus Uber drivers work the hours they want and take the specific requests that they want. You don't have to pick up anyone you don't feel like picking up.

Yeah I've never heard anything but bad things about being an Uber driver. From what I've heard "work the hours they want and take the specific requests that they want" is a line that Uber sells their drivers that ends up being bull****.

Fair enough,I don't even have a car on account of I got drunk after work with some Mexicans and crashed it into a ditch on the way home

And you are a soccer fan? I've never been able to get into the sport but I love when they fake getting hurt. I was watching a bunch of Spanish kids playing soccer at my sister's apartment complex in Texas and you could tell they watch it on TV cause they would keep faking injuries and falling down on purpose.

Yeah see this is why I don't get why you float the "make good choices meritocracy try hard and succeed" ****. You fail at this incredibly hard, end up working garbage jobs, addicted to drugs, doing stupid ****, so what level of experience is telling you that big "L" liberalism meritocracy is valid? It sounds like desperation because you're so much of a **** up that giving up on it means admitting that you're stuck and don't know what to do or how to save yourself and please god help me. It's like you're arguing someone else's propaganda in the hopes that if you say it enough times like a rosary that it will become your truth and all this constant failure will just evaporate.

It's very simple, really. I don't argue we live in a real meritocracy, but merit does matter. I'm not saying choices determine everything, but choices do matter. I'm not saying the system is that great. But I have no control over the system.

All my failures I can trace directly back to choices I made. Any progress I've made in the last 2 or so years, I can trace directly back to choices I made. So basically the system is what it is but the choices you make will affect your place in it.

Everything I've experienced tells me this is true. Both my bad decisions and my good ones. If I take the attitude you and OH are preaching I really have no reason not to go back to my old lifestyle. And I just know intuitively that's a bad idea.
