Yah, that argument does nothing for me.
Uber being a terrible company, which ruined an entire industry, acting like a vampire feeding on both it's users and providers? That's a good reason to not use them.
Yea that's cause you're American and you could give a fuck about anyone else. Like Canadians who face open threat of annexation and current economic warfare from your fearless leader. This woman is Canadian. There is an extensive buy Canadian movement underway. She should have no use for Ubers services any longer for better reasons than they're a terrible company.
Do you believe everyone is always happy with everything their government does? Are you, with yours? I ask because it really sounds like you might think that.
My argument is that Uber itself has directly done more than enough to be boycotted. Their entire business model from the very conception, was an obvious anti-competitive monopoly play. Saying Uber should be boycotted now, for something they aren't even doing? It's not a great reason.
But maybe I'm wrong. Doing the right thing for the wrong reason, is still doing the right thing. So sure, welcome to the Uber Haters Club. How do you feel about Lyft? Can I mark you down for boycotting them, or any other rideshare, delivery, or gig-worker "jobs"?
I don't use any service or product owned or operated from within the United States since your dictator threatened annexation of my country. So no, I don't use any of that predatory shit that comes from your country. I rarely used it prior to this because it's terrible for workers and I don't live in a city or where people seem to want/need those sorts of things..even if I did I would avoid them. Now it's gone well beyond just avoiding.
As to my government, no I'm not always happy with their decisions but for the most part they are democratic and when not I speak up however I feel is necessary within the situation. You?
Ok. So even though you don't support some things your government does, it's everyone's moral duty to blame and punish you for it.
Understood. Good day sir.
