Lots and lots to unpack in this one. But in short Uber has generated a huge amount of wealth for investors while publicly damaging the transport infrastructure of the cities in which in operates, all while being hugely unprofitable.

Unsurprising. And of course it's other women doing the policing.

It seems like this guy was primed to come back from all this, but you can see clearly how a "neutral" algorithm can pull angry and frustrated young men into hate.

I can't imagine being able to go back to that yoga studio!

It makes sense for shrinking congregations to sell, but they provide a real estate subsidy that no one else would.
