Uber v Lyft and ACLU

 It is seldom that I have addressed politics in the blog, but perhaps it is time to vent some issues here off and on.

Trump as tapped the Strategic and Policy Forum by picking up two of executives in the tech industry with the addition of Uber Technologies’ Travis Kalanick and SpaceX’s Elon Musk.

I can't say that I am excited that Travis Kalanick has chosen to work with Trump.  Nor, Elon Musk for that matter.  As an Uber Driver this rubs me wrong that they would work under the umbrella of this man.  It concerns me, but will monitoring their input closely.

Lyft on the other side of this has thrown big money toward the ACLU to work on cases that concern the people from the black listed countries.   I support their efforts and look forward to focusing my own personal business of driving to Lyft pickups and will be leaving Uber as the lesser of the two app's at this point.  I hope to see riders do the same and support Lyft by adding is as one of the apps they most use for rides.

I do hope that Ubers Executive does not fail by falling under the spell of the Human Rights violator that stole the election by the outdated Electoral College.  It should always be the popular vote and they Electoral College needs to go away.
