I hate the word ‘Consumer’ or I mockingly call it ‘CONSOOMER’. Because that’s to imply everyone in the world is just cattle, but with wallets. We’re no longer customers. We’re consumers now. And a consumer’s purpose is to consume shit, whatever is put out there. Got money? Shut up and consume, it’s what corporate interests and capitalism itself thrive on. Consume and consume.

    Ride share. It’s supposed to mean “Hey, I’m going this way and if you are too, you can ride with me.” It is currently used to mean ride hailing. You hail or call the ride with the apps and then pay for the ride. The driver and app developer isn’t sharing anything.
