You’ve given me good reasons to keep using taxis, Ubers, and Lyfts. I meet the drivers, who are people I otherwise would never have met, compete with their music, their opinions, their smiles, and their personality. I meet students, people working around family commitments, immigrants, and people who often know their city really well.
The sterile efficiency of a Waymo ride seems primed to further and facilitate isolation.
I can appreciate the efficiency of Waymo and I, too, would probably opt for one in a place like Cleveland.
I am a delivery driver for a living and, even though it might cost me hourly work, I try my hardest to create efficiency in the routes I run.
When I was going through unemployment counseling 21 years ago this summer, the guy who was my case manager said that selling yourself as someone who adds material value to a company makes sense. Since then, I have always had bullet points on my CV that demonstrate, at least, an approximate cost savings to my employer through a specific action I have taken.
I, as of a few weeks ago, am on the other side of an age where employment discrimination is a real concern. I have a small safety net and a comparable retirement. I can’t afford to be inefficient. My significant other is a contractor. To put it mildly, we have our share of concerns.
Really want to help? Expand UBI as outlined in a chapter of "The Price Of Eggs Is Down' 4th edition Amazon Kindle or paperback. I have never heard or read anything by you that expands on the anti crime and anti inflation aspects of UBI. UBI is inherently inflationary. Deal with it.
in Chapter 2 of the same book is the text of the Medical Care Restoration Act. MCRA is both voluntary and universal; lowers cost and improves quality of health care by 1. shifting money control to the Dr/Pt relationship which is healing and away from corporate bureaucracy which is not healing. 2 Returns the non monetary rewards to patient care and learning as professionals and no longer proletariat. 3. MCRA makes fraud near impossible and makes defensive medicine near obsolete. This is the playbook for winning elections, if we have them, in 26 and 28. Love, Doc www.dykrs.com

Keep your head up Dave.
I’ll do my best 🙂
