I'm really liking the sound of Drivers Co-op - I hope that can take off. As much as I like benefiting from VC burning money to keep prices low, I want the actual workers to benefit from their work.

I kept getting emails from Uber and Lyft to complain to the counsel when they threatened to leave. I instead gave my support. They aren't going to pull out or if they do it won't be for long. If they leave I will use Drivers Co-ops for sure. I might even use it regardless if they get the permits
