Uber Pledges $1 Million to Help Afghan Refugees
Breitbart ^ | 02Sept | Mastrangelos

Posted on 09/03/2021 9:43:29 AM PDT by qaz123

Gig economy giant Uber is pledging $1 million to help Afghan refugees in the wake of President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Kabul, which resulted in 13 U.S. service members killed, American citizens left behind, the bombing and killing of citizens, as well as other forms of chaos that ensued as the president bungled the end of America’s costly 20-year war in Afghanistan.

Uber is even reportedly adding two of Afghanistan’s major languages — Pashto and Dari— to its driver app so that refugees can more easily join its workforce, the report adds.

Anyone on here know if Uber is responsible for any criminal atrocities committed by any of its contracted drivers? Because I'm thinking there are going to be some women that will be getting an education and become the victims of these 6th century savages. But hey, as long as the shareholders get their money and the owner is making bank, who cars about the drunk college girl who ends up becoming a victim?

Has anyone on here ever driven in a foreign country? I'm not talking about a civilized one, like ones in Europe. I'm talking about Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa(other than South Africa). I've done Iraq and Afghanistan. The rules of the road in those places are a tad different than the ones here. As in, there aren't many, if any, rules of the road. Yes, they have traffic lights and stop signs. That's about it.

And when they show you pictures of the cities, someplace like Kabul, only a very small portion of those populations drives. Cars are too expensive.

This, like EVERYTHING else the Left does, is going to be a disaster. But Uber is seeing slave labor, basically. They'll buy the cars for these savages and milk them for every dollar they can. Of course, the Left will pat themselves on the back for how inclusive and fair they are. Never detailing how these drivers will get paid peanuts.

Well that can drive one family to Turkey (depending on how often they are stopped by the taliban).

I wonder if Lyft can offer a better rate...

Help Afghan refugees to do what, exactly?
Learn about being an American? That would be preferable, but I doubt if that is the goal.

I look at that photo. I see those young girls holding up the banner. And I know that they and their parents are so brainwashed that they completely ignore the history and the background of what all those refugees are all about.

There was a story some time ago about a woman in the UK, took a refugee into her home. She was raped. She was murdered.

Uber reveals extent of sexual assault problem: thousands of abuse reports a year...2019 story....nothing to see here, move along. These aren’t the droids you’re looking for

Don’t worry, Uber is going to train and educate their new Afghani drivers and they promise this won’t happen. Just know that by accepting the ride and getting in the car, you’re acknowledging that you will not hold Uber liable for the actions of one of their “freelance, contract drivers”.

They want nothing to do with being an American.

They want everything to do with collecting checks, popping out a citizen and collecting more checks.

That is all.

No large corporation will let go an opportunity to score woke points. The big airlines are flying them in. Uber will drive them around. Next they will be given free food. And maybe some liberal white women will offer themselves to understand their culture better.

They also want to bring Sharia law to wherever they go.

And that’s something dreamy-eyed liberals refuse to accept. The immigrants of a hundred years ago left the old ways behind. For example, no immigrant from tsarist Russia wanted to install the tsar here.

But these Muslim immigrants are, by and large, different. They will not adapt. Instead, you must adapt.

With all of the Afghan refugees they are planning on bringing here, $1 million will average out to about $5 a person.

Whether they want to or not. And some won’t even be bothered by it, they’re that deranged.

I read an article from Coulter and she brought up 99% of Afghan’s believed in it.

Did a little research thanks to Google. Pew did some work in 2013(I believe). Sure enough. 99% of Afghans believed in Sharia law. Afghanistan was the #1 muslim country on the planet for it’s adherence to sharia. Right now, Afghan refugees in Pakistan want to go home because of their belief in sharia and their desire to live under it.

However, much like so much of the world, and liberals in the US, not believing that bacha bazi is an actual thing, as yous stated so many on the Left don’t think sharia is a thing. Mostly because it will never affect them, because even though they might voice all sorts of support for the savages, they won’t live in their liberal hipster neighborhoods.

Muslims under Sharia law remind me of Battered woman who return to what is familiar because it’s hard to learn how to live free. There’s comfort in the familiar even if it’s brutal.

You’re forgetting they are fulfilling their role of spreading Islam to all Western countries. They see Allah as providing them checks and provision not their host countries. So providing for them only increases their faith in Islam and it’s system.

“American” as we understand it, I doubt it is even possible.
