  1. What's a real job?

  2. If you saw what riders pay and what drivers get, I think you would be astonished. Someone pays $200 for a ride and the driver gets $48. They just wanna get paid fairly. Since they are the ones actually doing the work, I don't think it's too much to ask.

  4.  @calvindelarosejr657  well good for you, but not everyone can and or don't wanna be be a ups driver. Luckily, driving ups isn't the only thing that keeps the economy going. It takes all kinds. And whether you are aware of it or not, you absolutely need those services to make your life easier and make the world go round. Any service you provide for money is a job. Being a teacher is a "real job" and they get paid 💩. There's drug dealers that make more than them and even you, that 100K you're so proud of isn't impressive. I door dash and make just under that, without punching a clock. Granted I don't have a wife and kids and like to work 6-7 days a week, but still. And it's not about what you make, it's about what you save, and I save 90% of what I make. But it puzzles me how people don't mind giving money to already mega rich corporations making a killing, but don't care about the actual people who are actually doing the work and make that corporation what it is. Because if it weren't for the drivers, the company wouldn't be worth a hill of beans. I'm guessing that's true for ups too. But I've noticed that most people don't care until it hits home, so WHEN it does please keep that same energy.
