1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: To the Black Guy Who Tips podcast, I listen because 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: of Rod and Karen are hot. 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:11,479 Speaker 2: There are now a number of studies that investigate biased 4 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 2: behavior on sharing platforms, looking at both buyers and sellers, 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 2: and all of them researchers find evidence of discrimination. A 6 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 2: second Airbnb experiment similar to the Harvard study found even 7 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 2: higher levels of refusal of African American guests. 8 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: They were nineteen percent. 9 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 2: More likely to be rejected when they attempted to book 10 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 2: rooms than they were whites. There's also evidence of discrimination 11 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 2: in the other direction against how host of color. 12 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: Using data scrap from the. 13 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 2: Scraped from the Airbnb website, two of the Harvard researchers 14 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 2: found that black hosts earned twelve percent less than for 15 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 2: their listings than non black hosts, controlling for quality and 16 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 2: other determinants of price. So wow, that's I'll get into say. 17 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 2: As we'll see in a moment. Our research years are 18 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 2: similar finding. Another Airbnb study that also included Europe and 19 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 2: looked at both blacks and Muslims found that hosts in 20 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 2: both groups netted lower room rates. Interpersonal discrimination has also 21 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 2: been found on labor platforms. Analysis of scrape of scrap 22 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 2: scrape data from TaskRabbit dot Com found that the platform 23 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 2: found that the platform algorithm is less likely to recommend 24 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 2: black taskers. A survey based study of task grabbit in 25 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 2: Chicago found that residents of lower income neighborhoods of color 26 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: were underrepresented as earners. The media income of Chicago taskers 27 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 2: was twice the poverty line. A field experiment on rod 28 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 2: healing apps found that black users experienced longer wait times 29 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 2: and twice as much cancelations, and that women's rides were 30 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 2: longer and more expensive than men's. While rod haaling is 31 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 2: acknowledged to be less discriminatory than taxi service, for which 32 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: there is a long history of racist refusal of individual 33 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 2: passengers and unwillingness to take fairs to certain areas, it 34 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 2: has not completely eliminated this bias. The first study of 35 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 2: gender differences among uber drivers found that women are earning 36 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 2: seven percent less than men. Contrary to disruptionist predictions that 37 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 2: the gig economy will favor women because of its it 38 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 2: offers flexibility, the economists authors of this paper suggest that 39 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 2: there's little reason to believe the gender gap will close. 40 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 2: Another type of discrimination is by disability. Even with some 41 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: of the recent adaptations Rode Health Service. Vehicles are still 42 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 2: less accessible than taxis. Airbnb listings don't have to comply 43 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 2: with disability regulations. This inequality is growing as the platform scale. Hey, 44 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 2: welcome to the Blackout Tis podcast. Your hosts Rod and 45 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 2: and we're live on a Saturday night doing some feedback. 46 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 2: You find us on i Tunes, Stitcher, Potomatic search the Blackoutis. 47 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: Leave us five star reviews. 48 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 2: The official weapon of the show is and the unofficial 49 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: sport pullball extreme of course to as a feedback episode, 50 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: so we're going to talk about all the things you 51 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 2: had to say about the things we had to say. 52 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 2: Today's excerpt is from After the Gig, After the Gig 53 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 2: by Juliette Shore. 54 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: And yeah, that. 55 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 2: I'm I've read this part of this part already, but 56 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 2: it's just talking about racial discrimination and these apps. 57 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: That a lot of them were pitched as the way. 58 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: To stop racial discrimination and that this would be more 59 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 2: fair than the racism of society. But one, it's kind 60 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 2: of hard to solve for societal issue through an app. 61 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 3: Yes, and society still affects the app. 62 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 2: Right, And then two, it's hard to guarantee and experience 63 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 2: when you're using an app that allows freedom to the individual, 64 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: and the individual can be. 65 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 4: Racist correct, correct the correct and non racist, sexist, homophobic, 66 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 4: all the isms, like all the those things don't go 67 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 4: away just because you want to create this app. And 68 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 4: also one of the things, a lot of times, the 69 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 4: way these apps are pitched, you can tell white people 70 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 4: are behind them, because a lot of these apps are 71 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 4: pitched blind, color blind, homosexual, blind, disability blind, we're just 72 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 4: blind to everything. Bit you can't be blind to it 73 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 4: because people have to live with the shit every day 74 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 4: and they are reminded every day of whatever this thing is, 75 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 4: so they're not blind to it. So you can't be 76 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 4: blind to it. Because you being blind to it is 77 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 4: society also being blind to it, which is part of 78 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 4: the problem. 79 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: Well, I and then know what's even worse though, is 80 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: sometimes that pitch is they will fix the issues. 81 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 2: So they're saying we're not like because of our quote 82 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: unquote like you say blindness, our lack of bias when 83 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 2: it comes to these issues. Because of that, we will 84 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 2: fix the issue, so racism won't be a factor anymore 85 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,559 Speaker 2: like it is in taxis because we have uber. 86 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: Well, when you see. 87 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 2: My profile picture as a black person and that I'm 88 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 2: requesting a ride or you can't see my profile picture 89 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 2: until you say accept, and then you see it and 90 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 2: you go decline, Right, did you solve racism? And also 91 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 2: because you take no responsibility for the for the experience 92 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: of your app, except for maybe you'll reprimand the driver. 93 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 2: You'll reprimand the passenger, you know, kick them off the 94 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 2: platform or something, you don't take any experience, any responsibility. 95 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: So you get to be like, we're not racist. 96 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 2: The people on the app are racist, and you know 97 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 2: we respond accordingly, so you know what I'm saying. 98 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: So you get to be like, no, Uber's not. 99 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 2: Racist, but yeah, black people get turned down for drives 100 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 2: seventeen percent more. You know, Airbnb is not racist, but yeah, 101 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 2: black people need uh thirty percent more time, like thirty 102 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: percent of time they get to climb. 103 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why I say it's all bullshit. They are 104 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 4: using your platform. Whenever somebody uses a platform, they don't 105 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 4: give a fuck about a franchise, they don't care. All 106 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 4: they see is your name, my individual driver. Not trying 107 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 4: to be funny. Don't mean the motherfucking thing to me. 108 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 4: I ordered Uber, I didn't order that individual driver. I 109 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 4: didn't call you know, Jim Jones to come to my house. 110 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 4: I called Uber to come to my house. And so 111 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 4: Uber is responsible and the accountable and they Uber, you know, 112 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 4: lift whatever services is out there, but Airbnb, a lot 113 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 4: of these gig economy services do or dash. They don't 114 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 4: want to take responsibility. Because they take responsibility, they would 115 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 4: have to do the right thing, which means they would 116 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 4: have to actually live by the shit today say. And 117 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 4: a lot of times the things that they say are 118 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 4: almost impossible to fix, and they know it, so they 119 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 4: pitch it like, we're not the problem. Your experience is 120 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 4: the problem. Well, bitch, I'm here's your platform, and you're 121 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 4: a part of the experience too. You can't be you 122 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 4: can't be over something and then say I'm not a 123 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 4: part of the experience and something goes wrong. 124 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, but that is exactly what they do. 125 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: That is the business plan, the business model, and it's 126 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: really how they kind of get by with the shit 127 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 2: is being like, hey, that's that was an individual taxi 128 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 2: driver that had that issue. 129 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 4: Yeah. And the thing that's very frustrating about it is 130 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 4: that a lot of this shit is the federal government's 131 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 4: responsibility to come in and fucking regulate them, like they 132 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 4: should have and be like, no, y'all still need to 133 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 4: abide by the same rules, the same regulation, the same 134 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 4: guidelines as taxis. 135 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's just. 136 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 2: And what do you do in society is already racist, 137 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 2: you know, because you can't necessarily fix these things with 138 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 2: an app. And then also what do you do when 139 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 2: after we like when they I love how they looked 140 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 2: at it statistically and they were like, no, not just 141 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 2: the percentage, but the money Black people they don't want 142 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: to stay in black people's houses when. 143 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: They see, like, you know, black drivers. 144 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 2: I'm sure I look at black customers and think, oh 145 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 2: black customers look at black drivers and think uh oh, 146 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: Like anti blackness is pres And I love how they 147 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 2: broke it down. 148 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: They didn't say black and white, they said non black. 149 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: So people don't. 150 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: Mind staying and paying higher prices to stay in people's 151 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 2: Airbnb as long as they're not black, right, Like that 152 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 2: tells you something about just it's specifically black people that 153 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 2: people find, you know, unprofitable, unsavory, whatever.

The airbnb host pays the price, 156 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 2: as does the person who wants to stay in the airbnb, 157 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 2: Like it's still racism, it's just in the gig economy 158 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 2: instead of it a hotel, and in the hotel if. 159 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: You have the money, they don't know or care because 160 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: it's such a big business. 161 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 2: They're not supposed to do that, you know what I mean, 162 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 2: Like they can't go here's a rate for the black 163 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 2: person that wants to stay in the hotel room, and 164 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 2: here's a rate for the white person. 165 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: You know. 166 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 2: But with the gig economy, it's hard to make that 167 00:08:59,000 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 2: argument because I can be lying. 168 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: I just didn't feel like letting this person stay in my. 169 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 4: House right right, because it's not like the property. It's 170 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 4: not like they own the property. They're not maintenance in 171 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 4: your vehicle.

You're using a public. 177 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 2: Really a private platform though that's the thing. It's not 178 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 2: really public, you see what I'm saying. It's a private business. 179 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 2: People are transact like a public For example, a public 180 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 2: platform is the bus. 181 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: That's the well available to the general public. 182 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 2: You pay money, you can ride anywhere in Charlotte, right, 183 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 2: get on the bus. 184 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: Uber is not a public platform. 185 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 2: You see what I'm saying, Like, that's how they that's 186 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,719 Speaker 2: how they get I'm just telling you how they get 187 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 2: around it. They're like, this is a private company. This 188 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: is my private house. I decide who stays and who stays. Yes, yes, 189 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 2: it's that blending. And when they want it to be 190 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 2: is none of your fucking business. It's my house. And 191 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 2: when they don't, And then you know what I'm saying, like, 192 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 2: whenever you call them on being responsible, it's none of 193 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 2: your fucking business. But when they pitch it to you, 194 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 2: it's this is a public good that will change the world. 195 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 4: Right and so's and so that's That's why I say 196 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 4: it's on a public platform for the fact that anybody 197 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 4: in the public has the right to use it. 198 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 3: It's not like it's a club and on the people 199 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 3: in the club can use it. 200 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 4: You put this out for the public, Well, it's society 201 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 4: that has access to use it. 202 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 2: It's like social media, though it's Facebook or public platform 203 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 2: to you, I mean technically it's supposed to be. But 204 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 2: they can kick you off of there any time, Yes 205 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 2: they can. So everybody doesn't have access to it, you 206 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,839 Speaker 2: see what I'm saying. Not everybody can use it, but 207 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 2: if you don't have Internet, or if you don't have 208 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 2: a smartphone, you see. 209 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: What I'm saying. 210 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 2: So, like there's loophos to even get in in the 211 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 2: first place. There's this assumptions that we make, like and 212 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 2: it's and I say, assumptions based off of marketing. 213 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,079 Speaker 1: It's not assumptions we make because we're. 214 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 2: They tell us that this thing is for everybody, it's 215 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 2: gonna bring us all together. But that's not the truth. 216 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 2: It's a it's a company. It's a corporation. 217 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 3: Right, and and and and and the and and. 218 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 4: The thing about it is that it's false advertisement because 219 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 4: you you're going to the general public. And the thing is, 220 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 4: like you said, it's already stipulations to get into it. 221 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 4: You have to be of a certain income in order 222 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 4: to even order Uber, which means you have to have 223 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 4: a credit card a lot of times, you have to 224 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 4: have a bank account a lot of times. You know, 225 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 4: you have to have be able to have a smartphone 226 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 4: to get an app like, so there's already barriers for 227 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 4: you to get this, which means you're already knocking out 228 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 4: a subsection of society. 229 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 3: Okay, so once we. 230 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 4: Get past you're already knocking out a subsection of society. 231 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 3: The other people. 232 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 4: I'm considering the public, because you're going to these people 233 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 4: and you're telling them, hey, anybody can use this. Well, 234 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 4: it's a false from the again, it because everybody can't 235 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 4: use it from the get go, because everybody can't afford 236 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 4: the service and whatever the barriers are to get the service. 237 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 3: And then my thing is that it's false advertisement. 238 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 4: Because like you said, yes, it's your public means your 239 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 4: private house, but when you pitch it to me, it's 240 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 4: not private, it's public, Like I can go and I 241 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 4: can do all these things. I have public access. So 242 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 4: for me, it's very it's like, it's very frustrating from 243 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 4: that perspective, and it's like you're not telling the truth. 244 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 4: And it's public where you want to be public, and 245 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 4: private where you want to be private. Where then then 246 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 4: you want to mutter the water and confuse the general 247 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 4: public on purpose, so that when these arguments come up, 248 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 4: people that use the service and love the service want 249 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 4: to continue to use the service and want to continue 250 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 4: to play the races their pain. But the reason why 251 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 4: they're paying the races their pain is because you're not 252 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 4: paying the people the racist they should be they should 253 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 4: be pained. 254 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: Oh what do you mean, they're not paying on. 255 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 4: People who love a lot of these apps A lot 256 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 4: of times, depending on the things, A lot of times 257 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 4: it depend on how you go, sometimes actually cheapen than 258 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 4: a taxi. The reason why ship it in the taxi 259 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 4: is because you're not paying beneficial, you're not paying health care, 260 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 4: You're not like, you're not coughing up the costs so 261 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 4: that you're so that you would actually be charging more. 262 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think what it is is that there's inequality 263 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 2: and loopholes and exploitation already in the market before these 264 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 2: apps come again. Correct, So calves have been notoriously racist already. 265 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 2: So racism finding this way into the uber product, even 266 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 2: though it was pitched as a solution to racism, is 267 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 2: not that unexpected, and it still might be a better 268 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 2: option than taking the calve, you see what I'm saying. 269 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 2: So that's what happens in a lot of people's cases. 270 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 2: Like it was sold it to you as. 271 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: One way but it's not that way. 272 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 2: But then it's still better than the alternative, or preferable 273 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 2: to an alternative. I mean, if something is as cheap 274 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 2: as the bus, sometimes people will deal with racism to 275 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 2: be like, but I'm in a private car with just 276 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 2: one driver and I'm not on the bus. You know, 277 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 2: I think a lot of that stuff comes into play too. 278 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: But let's start the show. 279 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 3: Butterfly in the Sky, I can go twice as high. 280 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 3: Take a look.
