Uber's $20bn share buy back is a MASSIVE transfer of their wage theft from exploited workers to greedy investors. It equates to $2,400 for every rider & driver on the platform or just under the total value of fares collected from passengers in Q2 '25. www.ft.com/content/6643...

According to Pershing Square, a major investor in Uber, in the near future human drivers will only fill in gaps at periods of peak demand, most of the work will be done by autonomous vehicle fleets. Having destroyed decent work, Uber now wants to kill off employment altogether.

Uber Eats' St Patrick's Day promotion shows both the limitations of generative AI as well as its prejudicial stereotyping. Suggestions for 'ingredients for an Irish supper' is restricted to 9 types of potatoes, 2 types of mince meat, corned beef, cabbage, 4 types of butter, kale and er, that's it.

The rational choice now for drivers is to single app on Uber & claim for ALL their working time. Better to get paid to sit than be unpaid to scratch around multi-apping. Uber will have a big employment bill & huge competition claims but hey, the laws an ass www.cloisters.com/insights/lan...
