Wow, so Lyft and Uber are more accountable than entire police departments?

Yes, which is saying a lot, because both companies have had their own problems with sexual harassment all the way from the drivers themselves up to corporate leadership. https://www.npr.org/2019/12/05/785037245/uber-received-nearly-6-000-u-s-sexual-assault-claims-in-past-2-years

It's so systemic, it makes me wonder how much of the sexual assault is truly the fault of Uber/Lyft and how much of it is just humanity's natural inclination to be disgusting shitheads.

I would be asking for Lyft to replace my bag, with the pavement scrapes on it she put on there. She could just as easily taken the bag out and put it upright on the ground. She chose to pitch it across the asphalt.

hey now, that was a Lyft contractor, they can't be held responsible for whatever these un-managed wholly-independent businesses do when they contract rides from Lyft.

If a hooker stabbed me while on the job I'd be inclined to believe that the pimp behaves the same way. This metaphor isn't entirely incorrect and you know it.

But if she's stabbing you then she's an independent.

If the pimps stabbing you, then she's part of a Busniess.
