They are from Japan, so yakuza? They probably just hire local muscle, though.

Sounds interesting. I might see it at the theater when it releases.

Why pre-order something digital? I never understood that.

But under the settlement, Lyft will have to explicitly tell drivers how much their potential take-home pay is based on typical, instead of inflated, earnings. It has to take tips out of the equation, and it has to to clarify that it will only pay the difference between what the drivers get from rides and its guaranteed earnings promise. Finally, it will have to pay a $2.1 million civil penalty.

That last part is like having to put a quarter in the swear jar.

It makes a lot of sense when you put in like that, and makes me feel like helping people instead of ignoring/hating/looking down on them. How did you get these insights? Are you in the field of psychology?

Would it be so bad if we want back to how it was before? Just people making their own sites about things they cared about? For fun or the love of the subject matter?

How come it was 90 minutes by foot? A lot of roads without crossing?

I like your idea. Some kind of non-violent high reward fraud. If you don't get caught, it's free money. If you do, it's all part of your plan.

I'm here thinking: "but gunshots are not a disease? Wait, gunshots ARE treated at hospitals, and probably take a lot more resources to treat than, say, a fever. So it does fall within his purview in my uninformed opinion."

And then I thought "But why are people shooting each other? Maybe he should have declared a mental health crisis?"

So to conclude, I think it would be more productive to treat the mental health issue, and gun crimes should reduce. Of course, reducing the number and availability of guns would help too, but seems a harder problem to tackle.
