Hear ye, hear ye! Her Majesty Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has issued a proclamation Direct Action to help us all be better subjects citizens:
?Labor, labor – read all about it!
Your Direct Action for today: Don’t take an Uber or Lyft just for the day. (Just today! Cabs are fine! You can do it!)
It’s a small but big way you can help all the drivers you’ve met get paid more to feed their families + support themselves. https://t.co/oaQZsYqukV

Where to begin? This seems like a good place to start:
What about the Uber and Lyft drivers who are out there working today because they need to put food on the table?

Except for the Uber and Lyft drivers, you imbecile. https://t.co/C55Y4go6k2

You can tell AOC really thought this through.
Just for the day?! Lmao, so tomorrow everybody gets back in their Uber/Lyft and they won’t care at all about this?!

Ma'am, they're all driving cars.
Cars. https://t.co/bQUrO4sy8u

How does she reconcile this Direct Action with her Green New Deal? Is she trying to hasten the death of our planet?
Your use of campaign UBERs makes this so great.

That’s just icing on the cake.
Can I just ride in your convoy of luxury SUVs?

Ooo, can we get in on that?
Let us know when you walk.

Take a hike

Now that sounds like good advice.
