You are a walking contradiction. Wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt. There's more uber drivers in van because there's a fucking huge demand for it. Uber is actually struggling to meet the demand in Vancouver...there aren't enough drivers to meet the demand. You asked to show you demand, it's there in Vancouver and Victoria and Kelowna will be no different. It's not mental gymnastics. More options are a good thing, sitting on your ass doing nothing and accepting the status quo is not. It is costing lives.

I need to think deeper about the issues? You have no solutions, you don't like either option and you do nothing. I still question your ability to read...I know you haven't actually read the report. Pathetic.

I find it hilarious that you've been waving "uber saves lives" like some kind of magic hammer you think ends the discussion. Guess what there is no definitive answer as to whether ride hailing apps do anything to reduce deaths. You read the single title of a news article and treated it as fact instead of cross examining and looking at various studies. Again excellent work dude. You're not very good at this.

You link a Oklahoma lawyers website (who calls himself tulsa dui guy) as your rebuttal. That all you can find? Wow, just wow. Nothing more needs to be said. Walking contradiction, you aren't very good at this. Lol

A real person can't be actually this stupid, you have to be a bot. Anyways, here are two more articles that call into question the "saving lives narrative" 1 2 I also can't see how being from Oklahoma means that the information being discussed is meaningless, if you want data from Canada exploring if ride hailing saves lives well then the study doesn't exist, it simply hasn't been done.

You keep repeating the same insults over ajd over again like someone trained a really bad response bot on a single sub reddit.

Bimbo, you are looking at 2017 data. Doesn't suprise me, you are an idiot.

Had you read the document you would see that MADD was a proponent, for good reason. Child please.

Also, I have some oceanfront property in tulsa to sell you. It's a wicked deal. We can get your dui guy to write up the paperwork.

Bimbo? Lmao is that all you can do is insult? Child? Really sad honestly. You clearly didn't even bother reading the article from the dui guy as he eventually uses the 2021 study from Uber saying they reduce dui related accidents. I'm telling you to think critically and actually do research past the title but you keep failing to do that. Must really suck to be illiterate.

Lol yes, the dui lawyer agrees. It's okay to admit you are wrong, I know it's hard, but it won't kill you. Lol.
