So I\'ve been doing this rideshare thing for over a month now, and as you might expect I have some gripes about the current status quo.  While it\'s awesome to be able to finally be my own boss and make money on my own, some of that feeling gets taken away by the way the platform I currently use, Lyft, chooses to operate.  At first glance the issues seem pretty minor, but when you think about it a little deeper, you start to see the rather extreme manipulation that the people who run the company engage in to try and trick, or even force, their drivers into taking rides that just don\'t make sense.
