NEW: @consumerreports just ran a massive test of how Uber and Lyft set their prices. The investigation found 11% of their discounts are fake. Participants saw different prices for the same ride, from the same place. Often within the same minute.

NEW: We put 7 Uber & Lyft drivers in one room and had them open their apps. We found Uber paying different drivers different amounts for the same ride. Lyft too. It’s proof corporations are using secret algorithms to pay workers less. And all of our jobs could be next.

Philadelphia's proposed taxes on ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft, hotels and short-term rentals like Airbnb were killed from Mayor Cherelle Parker's proposed budget Thursday, prompting a fiery response. Parker said the taxes would have provided recurring revenue for the city’s school district and helped save hundreds of jobs. The mayor targeted big tech companies, vowing they will pay their “fair share” of contributions to the city.

How much does a gallon of gas cost around the world? From about 13¢ to nearly $10 a gallon. Same basic commodity. Wildly different prices. The price of oil is only part of the story. Sources: AAA Gas Prices for current U.S. regular gasoline prices; GlobalPetrolPrices for international Octane-95 prices (Aug. 24, 2026); U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) for gasoline price components and methodology.

.Mark Cuban on why patients need upfront, cash prices in healthcare: “When you do that, you give them the opportunity to shop… and that helps force down prices.” When patients know what they’ll owe before receiving care, they’re able to compare prices, shop, and save.

John tells the story of the early Uber vs. Lyft battles - back when rides were subsidized, every Lyft had a giant pink mustache on the car, and riders were asked to fist bump their drivers: People see Lyft and Uber as commodities now, but when Lyft launched, people were super blackpilled on Uber. Uber at the time was only black cars. They didn't allow anyone to just hop on the network. You had to be registered as a limo driver. You'd have an Escalade, and someone would book you as a driver for a wedding or event. Uber’s app just digitized those bookings. Then Lyft figured out how to allow people to just show up with a Prius or a Toyota Camry or whatever. During launch week in San Francisco, Lyft put a giant, whimsical pink mustache on the front of every car. You were encouraged to sit in the front seat because the driver was supposed to be your friend. They would ask you to fist bump the driver. It wasn't professionalized at all yet. It was very much a two-sided marketplace. You could make a lot of money as a driver. There was no margin compression yet. It was like free money everywhere for everyone. It was a capital war. Lyft raised a ton of money, came into the market with a disruptively cheap product, and wound up delivering a really fun experience. Then Uber fast-followed with UberX, and the rest of the game played out as a capital fight. From a March episode of the show.

OpenAI just accused Anthropic of 'juicing' their revenue by $8 billion. Chamath explains why you can’t compare these two companies apples-to-apples right now. Turns out, 'AI growth' looks a lot different when you actually read the fine print.

They got caught. They’re backing down. But this isn’t over. There needs to be a class action lawsuit. Instacart admitted it was using AI to charge different people different prices for the exact same items. Algorithmic price gouging. That scam could cost a family of four $1,200 more a year.

This is why the Fulton County, Georgia election facility was raided We found countless Duplicate Ballots with the same Exact Markings across a vast array of Ballot Images that Benefitted Joe Biden and Fani Willis “What we’re looking at are two different batches of votes — and what you can see is that we have this exact same tail right here that shows on both of them. If you think that’s a mistake or coincidence, here’s the next one.” He goes on to show “Republican’s” who voted for Fani Willis, using the same exact markings from different ballots. Why don’t think she went after Trump?

This is wild Investigation into Uber reveals they are taking over 50% of the cost of a trip when you book One ride in New York cost $70, the driver only for $25. Uber takes the rest “A 2025 study of 258 drivers found that upfront pricing enabled Uber to increase its median cut from 25% to 29%, and sometimes to over 50% in the UK. And a US study analyzing roughly 50,000 trips by 3 drivers found that Uber's average take rate exceeded 50% for each driver in 2026. Levi showed me that Uber also took a cut of the wait time fee.” I looked into Lyft and found it’s essentially the same thing. Consumer Reports did a study in spring 2026 that found that both Uber and Lyft both retained 43–49.5% of the fare in their tests You know what’s even crazier is insurance cost per ride is around 21% of the rider fare In some states like California that insurance rate is higher, it’s 33%. In places like Los Angeles it’s up to 45% of the fair This means of a $100 ride in LA, $45 of that is just insurance….. How in the heck is it this expensive for insurance on a taxi ride??? What is going on in America
