I agree - especially these days. It requires a certain amount of gullible trust. Like Craig’s List. I wouldn’t go there.

Portland, Portland Uber alles, Uber alles in die welt...
Also, this is ride share, I thought the utopians were all for Ride sharing?
Sort of like the regular taxi service, or Pizza delivery guy.
Sounds like a perfect story line for Portlandia.
David Plouffe, good friend of Obamugabe, is one of the executives at this company.

Portlandia. I just started watching it out on the Netflix. Crazy stuff.
