So, about 5 minutes after a one hour Taxi shutdown at JFK airport, Uber sends a note suspending "surge" pricing at the airport. This launches the knee jerk #deleteuber trend on Twitter. Suddenly Über is now a Trump supporting right wing tool and must be shamed into submission. Suddenly Über is profiteering off the backs of hard working immigrants and slobbing on Trumps knob. Fight on Social Media Warriors!! Lynch first, get the facts later!! Meanwhile Lyft donates 1 million to the ACLU and is now the darling of social media. So, I wonder who is attempting to profit on the backs of this issue? The company that tried to help riders out by turning off surge pricing, or the one that donates money, very publicly, to attempt to increase ridership?
