You called the ADA an unjust law, to me that's fucking fighting words The bare minimum of the ADA's definition of "reasonable accommodations" is to not actively bar someone with a wheelchair or a service animal from a public accommodation That's all drivers are being asked

If your job is driving people around who hire you through a public website or app then you are providing a public accommodation That is the law, and I am very passionate about it

ADA Title III specifies *reasonable* accommodations, sure If you can tell me exactly why picking up disabled people is costly or requires extra effort and training, we can talk about whether it's reasonable

But when you started a business open to the public you fucking surrendered the right to say "I just don't like certain kinds of people" The Civil Rights Act took away that right in 1964, and the ADA extended it to disabled people in 1990

The distinction generally being that if you're planning a dinner party or giving rides to your friends, then yes, you can do whatever you want.

It may well be that Uber, on a corporate level, is jointly liable by making compliance more difficult, and failing to make such reasonable accommodations as would be necessary to ensure that their drivers are in compliance. This is probably not 'training'

Coffeespoonie posted saying that they're absolutely in favor of Uber providing company cars or, failing that, providing free cleaning supplies and seat covers

But the idea that service dogs destroying car interiors is a legitimate problem over and above the existing issue with "everyday wear and tear" from driving around members of the general public is bullshit

Uber is bullshit. Stop using it. It's part of the "gig" economy's race to the bottom. All risk is pushed onto desperate poor people, in this case wear & tear on your car. Also insurance will be voided if you file a claim while operating a personal vehicle in a commercial manner.

Good for you. BTW, I saw you on stage at some tech event in San Jose maybe ten years ago. Keep up the good work.
