It apparently took somebody at MIT to figure that Oberon lift drivers were getting the shaft. some academic did a study and came to the scientific conclusion, the dad Uber and Lyft drivers weren't making all that much. So the academic opportunity on behalf of the so-called gig economy workers and complain for them that they don't get paid enough. This groundbreaking study was called the economics of ride-hailing. Driver Revenue expenses and taxes. They factored in things like fuel maintenance Insurance repairs and other indirect cost to come up with a net amount of hourly earnings for drivers. They claim that the median driver, not average, earns $0.59 per mile but has cost of 30 cents per mile. They also said that nearly a third of drivers have cost That exceed their revenues. This includes indirect costs of course. Here's some highlights from the study they found that the median profit for Uber and Lyft drivers was 337 per hour. they found that 74% of them earn less than minimum wage. They found that the median driver makes $0.59 per mile. They found that the 30% of drivers lose money every mile. Another point they made was that due to the mileage allowance given by the IRS, that a lot of the Prophet was going on text. Though they slanted that to make it sound like the treasury was getting shorted and not like the drivers were actually making more real income than they might have otherwise if they were taxed at normal rates. Sound virtue signalers had taking this opportunity to talk about how the gig economy exploit workers. But makes no mention about how the gig economy is completely voluntary. The bottom line is if it didn't make sense for the people providing the services, then they wouldn't f****** bother. Have you ever noticed how it's the rich people that cry on the pores behalf. My English ait' so great. Thanks for visiting, though.
