As of July 2016 across major Canadian cities Uber passengers can now tip their drivers through the app feature when completing the ride. In the past there were talks about implementing this option as users felt compelled to give that extra for a good experience.
Before Uber I used to catch a cab here and there around Toronto mostly arriving to destinations off the public transit reach or when going for big groceries. Then I switched to Uber for obvious reasons or price, practicality, quality, service, and was very happy to have embarked a whole new side of the sharing economy.
When riding on a taxi I used to give tips since we all know it can make a difference at the end of the month for the driver. However, I grew unsatisfied with cab service quality as fairs gone up, car quality gone down, especially for those routes taking passengers in and out of the airport. So I decided to switch.
Uber now has set the ability to give that tip to your driver with a preset sum of your choice. I’m a bit in the fence over this decision as tips should be give to those who deserve it for extraordinary service. The app already allows to express your driver’s rating and to send a thankful note as an additional way to remark what part of the experience was above your expectation.
I ask myself if the system is setup in a way your driver won’t give you a bad rating should you decide not to provide the tip because the ride was fine, but also because it was expected to go that way. Tipping should be a personal choice an not a moral tax based on quality.
Your waitress or barista at your local cafe will benefit when you drop that change into the jar on the counter that has a “thank you” note on it. We also understand that tipping these people is helping them compensate for the low hourly wages that alone aren’t enough to pay for the bills.
The process of tipping has long become so widespread in Canada there’s a minimum 15% to be given when sitting at restaurants, and that happens whether the service was sufficient or extraordinary, almost without discrimination. So customers will most of the time abide in case they receive the judgment stare from their server.
Personally, I always believed the tip is an extra people deserve if they went beyond their call of duty in a context of meritocracy, not on entitlement. I’m happy to provide more than what the bill states to the person that serviced me, but it shouldn’t be a taxation on the customer when service is mediocre at best.
My worry over the Uber tipping feature is that it will spark a guilt trip by riders into giving tips based on a subjective feeling and not on actual performance, or that a fear to receive a bad rating will trigger tipping. After all, when the driver is on time, drives safely, is polite, he or she is just doing the job as expected by contract with Uber.
I mean, yes, those are two very different understandings of the world
but if your party has already successfully kneecapped the politicians in your own party who said things like “This country is going in the wrong direction because of a lack of universal healthcare”
and you’re deciding who to run against the politicians saying “This country is going in the wrong direction because of people with They/Them pronouns and I Alone Can Fix It”
it would at least tell you not to go with the Career Politician who spearheaded every bad political decision in the last 30 years.
You won’t listen. But it would be good to know.
Quinnipiac University has released a new poll of the Texas Senate race between Ted Cruz and Beto O’Rourke. And it has everyone a twitter.
Quinnipiac poll registered voters throughout the state (31% Republican, 26% Democrat and 36% Independent), which resulted in them determining the race is “too close to call.”
Combined with O’Rourke’s impressive fundraising numbers, this definitely makes the race more interesting. This is a poll of registered voters months out from the election though. Will be interesting to see if this holds, particularly among likely voters.
The new Cato 2018 Paid Leave Survey of 1,700 adults finds that nearly three-fourths (74%) of Americans support a new federal government program to provide 12 weeks of paid leave to new parents or to people to deal with their own or a family member’s serious medical condition. A quarter (25%) oppose establishing a federal paid leave program. Support slips and consensus fractures for a federal paid leave program, however, after costs are considered.
The survey found 54% of Americans would be willing to pay $200 a year in higher taxes, a low-end estimate for a 12-week federal paid leave program. However, majorities of Americans would oppose establishing a federal paid leave program if it cost them $450 a year in higher taxes (52% opposed) or $1,200 a year in higher taxes (56% opposed), the mid-range and high-range cost estimates respectively.
These low-, mid-, and high-range cost estimates are based on the most high-profile federal paid leave program proposed to date: The Family and Medical Insurance Leave Act (FAMILY Act).
The survey also did not ask questions about what paid leave policies Americans would like to see offered at private companies. Instead, the Cato 2018 Paid Leave Survey focuses on what people think about establishing a government-provided paid family leave program at the federal level.
The ACA’s pre-existing condition regulations lose support when the public learns the cost…
Democrats pinned much of their hopes this election season on protecting Americans from pre-existing conditions from losing certain coverage mandates. In fact, about half of Democratic ads featured health care issues compared to less than a third of Republican ads.
Much of the public debate centered on pre-existing condition protections assume that these regulations enjoy widespread public support.
Days before the 2018 midterms, 68% of voters said that health care is very or extremely important to how they plan to vote in this year’s elections, according to a new Cato 2018 Health Care Survey of 2,498 Americans.
However, the survey also finds that public support for pre-existing condition regulation plummets to less than half in favor when Americans are faced with the likely trade-offs and costs of these regulations, which goes against the widespread perception among the political punditry that pre-existing condition regulations are necessarily and universally supported by voters across the political spectrum.

Trump’s poll numbers are up since the hurricanes. They’re still historically bad.
President Donald Trump’s approval rating is on the upswing, now standing at 41% in the RealClearPoliticsaverage — an uptick pollsters say is attributed to how voters view his response to the recent spate of devastating hurricanes as well as bipartisan deals to fund the government.However, while Trump’s approval rating is better than the dismal 37% low he faced last month, it’s still bad compared to his recent predecessors.
