A lyft car at the Iconic sign on Florida ave downtown Tampa I have been a hack in Tampa Florida since 1995. Unlike the estimated 50% of Americans that hate their jobs, I have never had a day when I did not feel like going to work. Certainly, the last few years have not been fun because the economy fell apart like a three dollar watch. However, economies are like tides and this one is on the rebound, at a snail's pace. I would like to thank Mr. Obama for that but that would not be fair. The economy is recovering despite any fiscal policy of his. That being said - there are challenges. My job is inherently difficult. We face strange and deranged people street level on a daily basis. Taxi companies in Tampa (which are regulated) must serve the general population. We have no choice. Short fares, drunk fares, people going to buy drugs (they don't tell you that) we must pick up. Don't get me wrong, there are business people, beautiful women, great trippers, and long haul
Tried out Uber today on East Coast city near Cape Kennedy, FL. Had 80 yr old driving a rented car !
ReplyDeleteSaid he has about 15 passengers a day plus some regulars he takes to work. Not sure how much you could make from that, $200 a day maybe ? Of course he doesn't tell the rental agency what he is doing with the car and hopes he not have any accident. Didn't ax what he pays to rent the car but he said he only keeps it 5 days or so and switches around different companies.
I think swimming is good not only for the physical health but also for mental. Once it helped my friend to cope with depression.I want to share with the article i have recently read "How Members of Various Social Groups Cope With Depression". I like it and hope you'll also appreciate it.
