Craig Tresise

Hits: 429Most of us have recently seen on TV, newspapers or social media an article on a new Uber promotion called scUber. Uber claims that its riders will be able to experience a “rideshare submarine” on Australia’s Heron Island. A rideshare submarine is one that co-incidentally goes in a circle around an island in the middle of the Great Barrier Reef. An island located 80 kilometres from the nearest town on the mainland of Australia. Perfect for sharing indeed. So let’s address the facts by undertaking some simple digging. Something…

Craig Tresise

Hits: 68By, Craig Tresise 10th of May 2019 Good morning world. Today is the day for perhaps the biggest and most morally bankrupt IPO in the history of the universe.

Hits: 20Market analysts are calling today’s launch of the Uber IPO onto the stock exchange “The worst performing stock in US Stock Market History” . The now ONE-day-old Uber stock went through a sharp crash, a slight up tick and then an even lower crash to round out the day with a more than 3 point (7.62%) loss. This of course follows the vicious cycle of losses suffered by Lyft’s IPO which was introduced last month. The Lyft stock currently trades at nearly half it’s initial value and still has…

Justin La Plante

Hits: 12Following yet another assault and murder caused by the poorly regulated state of Rideshare (TNC) operations, Uber and Lyft have released yet another round of impractical and useless safety measures. While Lyft’s recently launched IPO continues to drop in the stock market amid issues with its sustainability and value as a company, Uber recently released a preemptive warning to investors that safety reports due to be released “some time within the year” on Uber’s operations may stifle public support and it’s own stock market potential.
