The #deleteuber hashtag was not just about the CEO being an advisor but also the way Uber handled the taxi cab strike at the airport. I think different points mixed together to create this viral hashtag.

Could you explain "the way Uber handled the taxi cab strike at the airport" and how Lyft's handling differed?

Uber continued to pick up people at JFK when taxi cab drivers were striking. As a response, Lyft donated $1 million to the ACLU, so everyone jumped on the delete Uber/use Lyft bandwagon. Disclaimer: I'm more of a subway kind of guy, I don't use either and don't necessarily think we should be focusing on Uber and Lyft to make our political views seen. There are probably better boycotts out there.

> Uber continued to pick up people at JFK when taxi cab drivers were striking.

Did Lyft do otherwise? That's not my understanding.

> Lyft donated $1 million to the ACLU

Lyft has so far (presumably) donated $250k to the ACLU. They pledged $1 million over four years. And you know what? Good on 'em!

Uber had already pledged to fight the immigration ban directly on behalf of affected drivers, to the tune of $3 million. I love the ACLU, but I'm not sure I'd bet on their lawyers over Uber's, and getting both mobilized sounds like a win.

> I'm more of a subway kind of guy

The subway to the airport was refusing to accept non-ticketed passengers during the planned protest (some time after the taxi strike).

I'm down-voting you, because of the character attacks, particularly of a person un-involved in the story.

SJW girlfriend? That seems out of line TBH.

To be fair, that would be too much to handle, even for the Donald.

Yawn. You trumptards are so tediuous, stay in The_Donald, the rest of us are trying to have a peaceful internet and don't need you all lowering the tone.
