>Had a friend who was making enough money driving lyft during the pandemic that he rented a better car to qualify for the luxury service and was still making decent money. Exploitative though they are, ridesharing just has less overhead than a taxi service, and likely wont go away.
>This is it, I had a neighbour try it out one evening and absolutely CRUSHED, she was literally telling everyone she knew that this was the way out of poverty, then for two weeks straight did not earn enough to pay for her gas (this was long before the recent gas price scam).
