Listen I can't do this anymore. Slowly it's been getting worse and worse I don't need to explain I'm sure you guys know. I was getting profitable trips here and there which was okay. Today July 5th there are thousands of people coming into the airport. The traffic on the highway is jammed. Summerfest is going on there are so many things going on on a Sunday here on 4th of July weekend. Uber refused to offer me a trip that got me over $18 an hour. Anyhow it took me 2 hours to get a profitable trip I made $15 and then I started heading home as I was going home which was about a half an hour drive I couldn't find any more trips and I'm telling you I'm in downtown Milwaukee. They were offering me trips that were like 15 minutes for $3 stuff like that. It's never been this bad. Once again they're asking us to pay our own money to drive for them. There's no way I could actually make money and you all know that is the case. As soon as inflation rises and cost rises instead of making things better for the drivers they are trying to give the riders discounts off of our backs. I would like to organize a strike in Milwaukee. Once again this is simple math. We can all take a day off to make a point. But they can't afford to lose us for one day. This is my first posting about it but I'm going to be pursuing this and figuring out how I can get as many people involved as possible so please spread the word.

I would like to set a date for a month from now. Possibly a Friday or a Saturday evening where they really need drivers.

I'm proposing that we do this on August 1st. And do a blackout from 5:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m.

Please pass along this information. It's not going to get better till we do something that's the game they play.

Demands would be that they start paying the driver by figuring cost of operating the vehicle plus profit. There should be a threshold that they do not go under. They should never be asking people to drive to break even let alone drive and spend their own money to give people rides. I think that's really what we should focus on is just being paid fairly bottom line.

Please share please repost please share on your own social media with maybe your own story but make sure we have the date time the same. That's the most important part August 1st 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

hi i’m looking for a general practitioner who is lgbt friendly and accepts badger care! lmk if you have any recommendations

I'm thinking about leaving Virginia later this year and Milwaukee is one of the places I'm considering.

What are the best neighborhoods?

How's the job market?

What kind of salary would I need to cover basic expenses and have enough for entertainment/eating out/travel?

Is it easy to find roommates?

I’m currently attending UWM and I’m having a difficult time finding jobs I’d be qualified for that would also give me relevant experience. I see this is a problem for all psych undergrads so I’m willing to expand my horizon if needed.

I’m looking to get into any of these fields: psychology, research, social work, social justice, criminal justice, (certain) healthcare, animal care, community organizing, political action, environmental work.

My current qualifications are:
High School diploma of course
Junior standing with coursework from diverse subjects
5 years experience in customer service
>2 years experience in horticulture

I have a passion for helping others and am so eager to get my foot in the door, but it’s so hard with no degree yet and gaps in employment

So, as the title says just looking to make some MTG friends who are willing to play with a novice. Yes, I have the app and I’m slowly building a better deck. Would love to meet people who are willing to teach me by playing in person, playing casual commander style.

I do plan on going to LGS as well to connect more to the community but yeah….Thought I’d shoot my shot on here too.

Every once in a while it smells like bacon throughout the town of Cudahy. Does any one know what that is? My friends and I think it's a dog treat factory lol

In our neighborhood, they started going off around 6:00 and continued until well after midnight. It looked like a repeat of the Covid 4th and then some!
