Portland does have a unusually high number of strip clubs. Where I used to live (Multohomah Village area) there were three clubs within walking distance and my area was a pretty well off area with high median home prices. One place proudly had a sign that read "Sichuan Food" in addition to the dancers. I guess instead of the usual Steak fare at the Acropolis you can get some mapo tofu during a dancer's set.

I support strip clubs in theory, because they're one of the few methods of income distribution from well-off old men to young people. every one I've been to is just gross and skeevy though.

http://www.reddit.com/r/uberdrivers/comments/2t3v2u/is_this_real_life/ Uber in Los Angeles after most recent price cuts: Over an hour drive. One toll. Almost 58 Miles. $50.79 after Ubers cut. Fuggggg [–]acewarlock 3 points 1 day ago Don't get the complaint. You made $50/hour for that hour. Surely this is better than most hours you had under the old fares.

laffo quote:The analysis shows that Uber's drivers in the United States collectively received $656.8 million in payments from the company in the last three months of 2014 (that translated in October to about $17.79 an hour in Washington, and $30.35 in New York). The taxi earnings in comparison — which reflect net income, not gross earnings — come from Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment Statistics. they're comparing uber drivers' gross income to taxi drivers' net incom

Guess 1: they don't actually collect any information that would help them generate a net income because why would they give a gently caress? uber drivers probably can't figure out how to do it either

Ding ding ding. 1- they don't have the data, and 2, if they had the data they wouldnt want to publish the data. It would be plain as day that Uber is economically no better, and likely worse for drivers and riders alike.

What's the benefit for them gathering the data? how does it increase their profits? They could have gotten the data if they spent money and time collecting it, but that doesn't really give them anything useful in the realm of making more money. I guess what I'm saying is don't missattribute this to intentional deception. it's just lazy+greedy also the bit about tori's penus
