  1. Corporate evil is so profitable. If you're willing to lie, really lie your nuts off, then you too can create dynastic wealth.

  2. VENGEANCE! & DIRECT>PAYMENTS! OVER #100TRILLION! #REPARATIONS!>NOW!>IN>#GOLDBARS!!!

  3. "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17

  4. Has no one seen Super Pumped??? The whole show is about this

  5. a ploy to put out the Non-government controlled transportation. This is the adoption of socialism & socialist forced public transport soon.

  6. My portfolio has grown tremendously all thanks to my trading manager for the help.

  7. Drove for uber. Did not make a dime, actually lost money…
    All the deductions from the earnings were services the company was making the drivers pay for were ridiculous…
    Told them directly their program was horribly flawed and they dropped me like a hot potato by terminating my driving privileges saying driver complaints made my rating dip below their required ratings…all of which was a pile of horse manure…
    and i will never use them or trust them ever again…

  8. Enter Amazon into the business and all of sudden there are lawsuits….

  9. Thank you president Biden for lowering gas prices

  10. i wonder who own Uber

  11. Like that you don’t need a license or insurance to drive for them? Nah.

  12. Why lie to yourself??? Basicly governments want their cut ,uber just gonna pay few millions and that's it .

  13. Uber the Ugliest Company on earth! they take at least 50% of drivers money every trips INSANE

  14. Can't wait for Uber to get a small fine and nothing else happening to them meanwhile nearly all of the public transit systems in the world are disrupted and defunded by their garbage service.

  15. Copied from a patriot: So our demented Joe Biden allows a million gallons of America's oil reserve to be sold to China who does not need it. All they are doing is pumping the oil in their reserve storage. This means Biden weakens America to make China stronger so it will be easier for China to take over America. In my book that makes Biden a TRAITOR and he needs to go to prison.

  16. Everyone Involved in the Spraying of the Skies. Need to be Charged with Crimes Against Humanity and Life itself.💯

  17. Glad mark cuban didn’t invest in this

  18. Cool, can you report on Facebook swinging elections by blocking and censoring content?

  19. I’ve done over 12,000 rides as a rideshare driver. I can testify there is no business model on earth that needs regulation more stringent and more quickly than the rideshare industry. The level of exploitation and manipulation that happens to drivers is absolutely staggering.

  20. Duh, you are 8 years late to this story.

  21. It's believable. Any company that supports the kind of "social justice" movements that Uber does is lacking in integrity, and can therefore be expected to be untrustworthy.

  22. Wait wait wait… you’re telling me a company did something ILLEGAL?!? This is SHOCKING information. And nothing happens to them for doing something illegal?!? SHOCKING.

  23. This is old news. It came out a year or more ago that they were using their software to operate in cities where they weren't legal, and somehow programmed the software to detect inspectors and avoid them.

  24. what about price fixing scheme dont you understand?
    how many law abiding companies hire ex-CIA agents to collect dirt on competition and politicians?

  25. Does this mean I’m getting my money back?

  26. Wow… why am I not surprised. They charge me 60 bucks for 10 mile ride while paying the driver 12 dollars.

  27. yeah and they stood for a fraudulent crime ring too and gave em millions

  28. The company dumped a load of money to persuade voters in California not to pass a law that would have reigned them in.

  29. Uber: "Hey, that jerk isn't with us anymore! We're a completely different company now!"
