ParticipantUber drivers set their own hours, use their own equipment, etc, etc, etc. They pass multiple aspects of the independent contractor test.
Personally, though, I think the US labor law system needs a dramatic overhaul. A lot of the costs (health insurance, etc) should be socialized. i.e. insurance for all, funded by a % income tax.
Make work a simple exchange of money for labor, subject to reporting requirements and safety requirements. If fixed costs are minimized, then there would be less incentive to keep employees working 50-60 hours a week.
ParticipantSelf-driving cars, baby! This being said, if realtors are contractors, there’s no reason why their drivers should not be classed as contractors.
ParticipantUber is a privacy-stealing company — they track trips, tied to an identity, and that info stays in a database for posterity. Unlike taxis, where you can pay in good, old-fashioned, anonymous, cold, hard, cash.
Uber is also dumping their “product” on the market under cost, funded by cheap VC money. If they were a foreign firm, there’d by a trade war right about now.

ParticipantMy parents wouldn’t know how to show me good matches. I’m generally not attracted or compatible to women from my own culture.
ParticipantParents,pretty much know what’s best for you. And,all women are basically the same. You’ll learn to love each other.
I’m not attracted to all women equally. Neither, I suspect, is anyone else. Physical and psychological attraction are important parts of love.
ParticipantBecause suitable for you might not be suitable/attractive for them, depending on the criteria. Unless your criteria are extremely broad, like “not a thief or axe murderer.”
ParticipantI have dated quite a few Indian women in the last few years. Less a question of unwillingness, more of perception. White guys won’t ask because they ass-u-me a lack of interest. Same with other races.
E.g. White men are either not interested in black women or assume they will be rejected, so they don’t ask. And 9/10 times, the guy needs to ask first.

ParticipantMost immigrants come to the US to escape that cr@p, not to perpetuate it, though.
ParticipantMost people of ANY race are small-minded and clannish.
ParticipantI’d rather restrict births by making policies unfavorable to having > 2 rugrats. Say NO tax breaks if you pop a third sprog unless you adopt or foster.
ParticipantNo one in the auto or property (or any) industry is owed a living. I’m supportive of immigration for other reasons, but keeping UAW and Realtor parasites in the trough is not a reason for policy.
ParticipantAt least someone has said it — foreclosures are a GOOD thing since they control price appreciation (read: inflation). One man’s home going into foreclosure is another man’s opportunity to buy it, kick whatever squatters are living there out, and rent it to humans that aren’t complete trailer-trash.
