    I’m gonna go out on a limb and say this comes from Uber drivers getting tired of being assaulted and having their vehicles trashed by drunk people.

    It’s not all of them, but it’s likely enough of them to ruin it for everyone.

              Ah yes, grass fed free range Ozone. Remember, If it doesn’t come from the -Layer region of the atmosphere, it’s just Sparkling Oxygen.

                Organic chemistry.

                Organically produced ozone is not a thing, like asking for a free range Ford Mustang.

                  Well, specifically for those who might equate “organic” with “naturally occurring”: natural processes like lightning can create ozone, which is how we got a layer in our atmosphere

                  Organically in this context refers to “byproduct of a metabolic process / the chemical reactions that power life (but aren’t necessarily occurring inside a life form)”

                  Dunno why I felt the need to explain that but enjoy

            Well yea, where do you think they get the o-zone?

            Did you know it takes 36.92 years for the o-zone to migrate back upto the o-zone layer, this is called the Dragostea transitory period.

              It’s dries out plastic and cause metal to rust. All the suggestions I’ve seen for generators is remove a bunch of crap before even thinking of using them.

              Are you someone who just uses stuff without reading the instructions or warnings?

              I would rather not have all my rubber seals dried out myself.

                Yeah. Plus the rubber seals are already fucked on my car because it’s old. But now it’s not moldy anymore! Thanks ozone generator. You’re dramatically overstating the downsides, btw.

          Is that what Uber charge you for it now? Good. It was like an extra $10 when I was doing it over a decade ago. What a shit job that is.

              Fuck Uber. I don’t even use their, or any other app, for food delivery any more. Slow, unreliable and expensive. It’s been fully enshittified for years.

      Once had some drunk guys shove a girl in my cab and give me enough cash to get her home. She puked in the back seat. And I had to get her dad to get her out of the cab and her tiny little brother was upset. You get this kinda service from an uber?

        Cab drivers get a bad rap, but y’all gotta deal with all kinds of shit. Respect for y’all.

        I wish the industry coped better with Uber and lyfts when they were first growing.

          Long time since I drove a cab, but I do sense a work ethic to the profession not there with uber drivers OR cabbies are corrupt, please be careful

      Since when does corporate give one fuck about what their wage slaves want?

      Probably lawsuits, or the growing threat of lawsuits.

      Isn’t that the point of the rating system? Drivers can give you a low rating and you can essentially be black listed if it’s low enough.
