Uber’s (Non)Charitable Heart

I can’t believe Uber! You’ve probably seen their TV ad, where they call on us to do our part to get people vaccinated against Covid-19. How? We should donate a ride to get someone to a vaccination site. That’s all well and good, and some of us are already providing transportation for people who need it so they can get the virus protection. But what is Uber doing? Building their business on the backs of the pandemic.

Come on, Uber! If you’re intentions really were other than helping your bottom line, increasing profits, then why aren’t you offering free or discounted rides as a company?

If we can do it, why can’t you?
