The wheels are spinning fast for legislators trying to fend off an Uber and Lyft exit from Minneapolis and possibly other parts of the state. The May 1 deadline is now less than four weeks away, but a new state law that could help is full speed ahead.

$15 ain’t even enough. After expenses that still below min wage and THERE IS NO PROFIT! They won’t revert to 80/20 split though right? Let them leave. They suck out revenue from local economy. Look how many restaurants left UberEats!

[@ramoncarrillo6467]

Let them leave why going around and round let them leave

[@mauriciosv899]

Okay Uber and Lyft we don’t need you.bye bye.

[@TahoeMacedon]

expenses per mile per irs are 67 cents. if these greedy corporations were paying less than 89 cents per mile that means the drivers were working only for expenses. PATHETIC. do taxi rate of $2-3 per mile

[@williamerazo3921]

Government for the corporation for the corporation. F the voters and the will of of the elected

Why not delivery drivers???? Lobbyists?

[@alysciatravis1860]

We need more money in St.Louis. They really. Be playing with the fees on the passenger side and the driver’s side.

[@omariderest3212]

Don't these Uber drivers get tips? Sounds like want high base salary plus tip money (which probably most don't report for tax).

[@bigticketmn]

Haha that's funny. One out of every 6 or so riders
leave a tip to the driver.

[@JunkoXan]

not when you get bad passengers who give crap...$1-$2 for a possible 30 minute drive... then you get ones where they don't leave one and the driver gets shafted by Uber or Lyft on their fee system (can go up to 75% taken from the driver as a form of a fee)

[@Dr_piFrog]

@@JunkoXan Seems like the main problem is that Uber is a greedy crap company.

We need to vote in way more Conservative lawmakers and get some sanity back in Minnesota. This lib shit isn’t working, what a joke
