  Stumbled onto a competitor to Uber and Lyft, although I can't tell if workers have 100% control over their hours, and it's only in New York City currently: https://drivers.coop https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26588607 It's getting too hard to keep up with everything, especially living in the northwest where I might be a year or two behind big cities.

• [ Everyone ] Please share your thoughts on what company, project or idea will bring the most mass societal individual freedoms and thus why we should Unite and Crowdfund it to reality. I will go first ;

  Bruh. If you want to donate to The Drivers Cooperative, it already exists. This is obviously a great idea (which is why it’s already happened), but maybe next time google it before posting? Also, this is the sort of thing that workers have to do for themselves, so posting this to a sub for Uber or Lyft drivers probably makes more sense, and unless you’re an Uber driver yourself let the drivers take the lead in...

• Marco Update #2: Meeting with Mentors and Testing the Waters

  First, we’re looking very closely at the prospects of partnering with various incubators and accelerators to aid in Marco’s growth. Most impressive among them looks to be start.coop, which recently helped The Drivers Cooperative raise over 1 million dollars in crowdfunding and become the largest worker cooperative in the United States. They seem to be something of the y-combinator of co-ops. We seek to submit a... Source: almost 5 years ago
