You should check out some guys story on HAIF about these hotels – I was literally dying laughing – can anyone post it here? HAIF is blocked at my work but swamplot is not.
Let me guess. We’ll have to try and pack our garbage and recyclables into one can getting picked up once a week? I think I see a tax hike veiled in reduced services once again under the Parker regime.
I have no dog in this fight with regards to uber and lyft, and have never used them, but I’m cheering for them 100%. Civil disobedience at its finest. A small battle in the war for freedom. If someone wants to pay someone else a few bucks to give them a ride, so be it. It’s none of the governments damn business.
