How Can We Amicably Separate?
By Eric – September 24, 2025

*** begin quote ***

The subject of civil war comes up a lot lately. How about an amicable separation instead? People do this all the time in their personal relationships. You have two people who loved one another once and maybe still do but just can’t live together any longer. At least, not without some sort of accommodation that neither can agree to.

And so the parties agree to separate.

One party does not (usually) try to force the other party to remain in the relationship and rarely tries to kill the other party when a separation is asked for. Most people understand that while it hurts to say goodbye, it’s wrong to hurt the other party for saying it.

Why can’t this work on a political level?

Because there is a class of parasites — celebrities, politicians and bureaucrats —  who can’t survive on their own.  They need ALL “We, The Sheeple” to pay and pay keeping them in the style that they are accustomed too.  

We have the crazies shooting and killing.  Sooner or later, it’s going to get out of control and start a fire fight.  That’s how the American Revolution started.  That’s the history of “bloody Kansas”.  And on and on.

We are experiencing the beginnings of a race war with “black fatigue” and revolving door justice.  The mental asylums need to be reopened and the jails filled up with violent felons.  Any judges that can’t abide by that directive need to be impeached.  We don’t need “hanging judges; we need ones that protect the public.  

We need to stop the “War on Drugs”.  We lost.  Empty out the non-violent drug offenders and allow the “free market” to drive the “drug gangs and cartels” out of business.  We can’t save every “lost soul”.   Put Walmart, Amazon, CVS, and Walgreens back in the business of “drug distribution”.   

Argh!

Anything is better than Civil War or turning the streets into shooting galleries.

SECURITY: Does Uber know who’s really driving?

Why Ride-Hailing Is Not as Safe as You Think
By badger – August 11, 2025

*** begin quote ***

Even with driver photos and license details, identity fraud is possible. Some drivers rent accounts or share them illegally. That raises big safety questions. Safety becomes an illusion when systems are not properly enforced. You might not know who is actually behind the wheel. This illusion affects both riders and drivers alike. When safety is marketed more than it is practiced, everyone loses in the end.

*** end quote ***

I know that Uber has updated their app with a code you give the driver and you get a photo of the driver.  I thought that would be enough.  

BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), the “renting” and “sharing” of accounts shows a monkey wrench into their system.

Maybe they should require you to take a picture of the driver that then Uber can use AI to confirm who’s really driving?
