including network marketing. The only thing they seem to be missing is the Elon Musk approach of tapping into massive government subsidies. Previous Message A quick perusal tells me the subsidies they have relate to how much driving one does... and I assume uber has anticipated this scam. I met their Americas EVP when he was Chicago GM- was a former Bain guy. His eyes lit up when he told me about this new "Pool" product that was going to make them massive money. I don't think it's worked out that way just yet. One scam you can pull- sign up for a driver account, get a driver referral code, then sign up everyone you know and get hundreds or thousands of dollars for not doing anything. Previous Message uber subsidizes drivers, that's not news, and it's fairly significant. could i set up two accounts, and engage myself to drive me to work every day (or, on a long road trip to texas) and get uber to pay me for it?
