  • I mean, isn’t it odd that the statistic reported uses that age range? I don’t wanna defend Fixed News for anything they do, but if the range they’re given is 15-19, and they want to say that “young adults” (18 to early 20s) birth rates are down, they have to include the 15 year olds.

    It’s really strange that the data available lumps “barely old enough to be biologically capable of bringing a child to term but mentally and emotionally incapable of making their own informed decisions” into the same category as “legal adult who may have taken deliberate action to prepare and plan for a pregnancy”. I’d be curious to see how splitting the ages up to something like 14-17 and 18-21 would effect the data, and what was reported.













  • Tbf the “waiting for gigs” thing isn’t really accurate for the people that do it for their full-time job. A lot of them do both Uber and Lyft and will be actively declining gigs from one service while driving for the other. When you have a lot of positive reviews you get priority on rides, drivers in populated cities where people don’t want to drive are making some pretty serious cash.

    All that isn’t to say that the lack of benefits and the like doesn’t eat into that significantly. Just wanted to dispel the myth that there’s nobody making a decent living off it.
