Thinking of taking an Uber? Maybe think again.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Uber just announced it will lay off 10% of its workforce, or around 3,300 workers. Last year, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi made $35M — 360 times his median employee's pay — and announced a $20B stock buyback program to further enrich shareholders and himself. Textbook corporate greed.

Municipalities don't control immigration policy, but they're increasingly dealing with its consequences. As Ottawa slashes immigration targets, cities say the impact is squeezing local budgets, businesses, and essential services. https://ow.ly/X5ck50Zi0Cg

No matter what Trump’s ambassador says, Canadians aren’t “mean and nasty” for choosing to buy Canadian and travel locally. We’re taking a stand against Trump’s threats to our sovereignty and standing on our own two feet. Let's hold the line.

That’s exactly why we stopped counting on noblesse oblige and went with plain old taxes instead. You can’t build a stable society around rich people’s generosity. "The Chan-Zuckerbergs stopped funding social causes. 400 kids lost their school." www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
