It's also worth noting that the video didn't "get the guy fired" The guy got fired because of the complaint sent through the app The video was to tell people what happened and try to keep this from happening in the future

This isn't the only time, either A few years before this there was a big viral story where someone spent a year collecting video of ADA violations they experienced, which they made into an edited story, I believe for Buzzfeed

Oh god you mean the issue wasn’t an asshole who didn’t take a ride for disabled person? You mean it might be, possibly, systemic? Perish the thought.

Yup and it has very little to do with drivers being poor and desperate, it has to do with drivers being bigots

Not they aren’t poor and desperate. That’s definitely not a real thing.

The driver in this case we're talking about had a car that costs around $40k new, and specifically told the passenger he didn't want the dog on his leather seats

This looks pretty bad for the economic desperation argument just on the face of it, which is why the concern trolls quickly developed an insane narrative that the car was leased from the mafia and if it was damaged he could've been killed by loan sharks or something

I don’t know about any of that other stuff but most Uber drivers lease their cars because most of them get their jobs through secondary sources because most are undocumented!

All you need is a W-9 which you don’t need to be a US citizen to have. Furthermore you can be “authorized to work” without US citizenship. This is one of the big hurdles in labor organizing

"Undocumented" and "not a citizen" are completely different things
