Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Yah, that argument does nothing for me.
Uber being a terrible company, which ruined an entire industry, acting like a vampire feeding on both it's users and providers? That's a good reason to not use them.
Yea that's cause you're American and you could give a fuck about anyone else. Like Canadians who face open threat of annexation and current economic warfare from your fearless leader. This woman is Canadian. There is an extensive buy Canadian movement underway. She should have no use for Ubers services any longer for better reasons than they're a terrible company.
Do you believe everyone is always happy with everything their government does? Are you, with yours? I ask because it really sounds like you might think that.
My argument is that Uber itself has directly done more than enough to be boycotted. Their entire business model from the very conception, was an obvious anti-competitive monopoly play. Saying Uber should be boycotted now, for something they aren't even doing? It's not a great reason.
But maybe I'm wrong. Doing the right thing for the wrong reason, is still doing the right thing. So sure, welcome to the Uber Haters Club. How do you feel about Lyft? Can I mark you down for boycotting them, or any other rideshare, delivery, or gig-worker "jobs"?
I don't use any service or product owned or operated from within the United States since your dictator threatened annexation of my country. So no, I don't use any of that predatory shit that comes from your country. I rarely used it prior to this because it's terrible for workers and I don't live in a city or where people seem to want/need those sorts of things..even if I did I would avoid them. Now it's gone well beyond just avoiding.
As to my government, no I'm not always happy with their decisions but for the most part they are democratic and when not I speak up however I feel is necessary within the situation. You?
Ok. So even though you don't support some things your government does, it's everyone's moral duty to blame and punish you for it.
Understood. Good day sir.
Your regime is threatening the sovereignty of my nation and none of you are doing fuck all to oppose it. That means you've chosen your fate. I will not assume otherwise until proven wrong.
Check out this video.
It explains why you can pretty reliably bet whatever Trump says isn't what he'll actually do.
Hopefully it's help you calm down a little. Or it may make things worse.
I was gonna save the day but you're kind of a jerk so enjoy what's coming.
What fate have I chosen?
Is Canada planing a preemptive attack against the US!?
I'll need some popcorn. The view from New Mexico will be great.
Man honestly what do you expect for someone like my friend, who I pick up and ride to/from work every day when there's random odd ball days I leave early or am off?
The literal only option to get home sometimes where we're at is to use something like Uber or lyft.
He busses when he can but they can be incredibly unreliable in our city and the state is slashing our budget and 50% of bus routes will be cancelled next year, including the one from work.
Hate to break it to you but literally none of this has to do with trump. Some people are just poor and need to rely on services like wtf are you even on about
People's lives are terrible because of corporate greed now propped up by fascism. Keep supporting it and nothing changes. Enjoy slavery and have a wonderful day.
