WASHINGTON — Federal workers are some of the hardest hit by the partial government shutdown, but those who depend on their business, including rideshare drivers, are also feeling the impact.
Luke Cho, a student at George Mason University majoring in Russian Studies, is an Uber driver in Fairfax County. Driving for Uber during the evening rush has helped Cho pay the bills.
“Before the shutdown, we were seeing high demand all across the District,” said Cho.
But lately, he’s been feeling the impact of the shutdown. “The riders just started disappearing and the calls just stopped coming,” said Cho.
Instead of making around $100-$120 a night, he’s now making half of that, if he’s lucky.

Record companies are shut down now as well because of the dems holding the country hostage? What next? The msm? LOL! We wish!
Don’t care. This is about what’s best for the nation, not individual citizens, or even large groups of citizens.
This reminds me of a Mad Magazine satire of a small town news paper. The screaming headline read, “VACATION OF LOCAL COUPLE RUINED!” The smaller sub-headline read, “Japan sinks under sea.”
Oh well.
This is a good thing, right? Uber is evil, right?
Isnt it amazing how the liberals discover how an economy works whenever there’s a government shutdown? Same people seem to have trouble with the ramifications of high levels of taxation. Cyinical boobs.
Wait, wait! Nope. I thought I might being caring about this. But it was just a burp. Keep the government shut down.
Je give a shit pas.
Women, Children and Minorities Hardest Hit
Luke Cho, a student at George Mason University majoring in Russian Studies, is an Uber driver in Fairfax County. Driving for Uber during the evening rush has helped Cho pay the bills. …What, no grants for Russian Studies?
Maybe it was Guam. It tips easy it seems
What is the normal seasonal variation of Uber usage between December and January? I am sure December Uber usage is high due to Christmas and other holiday parties.
Uber driver and college student named Luke Cho majoring in Russian Studies. Somebody get Bobby Mueller on the horn.
Probably none. Uber’s rules about the age and look of your car puts illegals out of the running.
I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you.
In other news: The sky is blue.
Regrettably, the shutdown doesn’t apply to the brain dead media.
Build The Wall.
We will be in the post-post-post-modern era when they interview the hookers who are put out due to a downturn in business.
Keep the government shut down and soon other small businesses will close, property values will go down, suicide rates will go up.
Maybe if it’s bad enough the jerks in DC will discover what their policies have done to people in other parts of the country. West Virginia anyone?
Icing on the cake? Replace all furloughed government workers with the CHEAP LABOR EXPRESS - illegals - - pay ‘em HAL AND under the table.
If Washinton DC liberals object - call them racists... maybe terrorists...
