[23:37:21] <exec> 08└─To expand on one of my points - Services like Uber have hiring and employment standards as many professional driving services do, so it seems logical that there is some degree of safety greater than catching a ride from some random joe schmuck with a car.

[23:37:26] <exec> 08└─The nice thing about Uber is the easy traceability of the service. If someone gets into an accident and they have a reason to believe the other party was involved in the Uber service, Uber should be willing to answer the question, as a safety net to their customers (or, you know, they could actually...

There were promises to clean it for the 2007 Pan-american games, billions was "spent" in a fake program to clean the waters, and now the same story again.
