I am a part-time driver for Uber and Lyft and rather new to both. I'm also not a normal driver since I drive an all-electric Nissan LEAF that gets 85 to 100 miles on a full charge around town. All information does not fall out the same in this post as it might for full-time or long-time drivers at both or either company. Earnings ability varies, I suspect quite a bit based on location. It seems obvious that dense metropolitan areas offer more constants and the possibility of higher earnings (but also a higher cost of living). In simple terms,

Sometimes, it's a good thing to change your spots. Shell is doing a bit of that. Shell is not a name I think of at all in terms of clean air infrastructure. More often, I reflect on the problems of the oil company in places it should not be — rainforests, the Arctic, etc. Changing its spots, Shell is offering a new face with a clean air emphasis. Shell is planning a second choice in how it fuels up cars, and it is a good thing for once. Northern Europe will see the beginning of the change.

We hear more about false news these days than in the past — unless you grew up with me. False news has always been around. I was raised by a father who ranted about "Madison Ave" controlling our lives. "Watch out what you read — make sure it's true. Question what you hear. Avoid gossip, it leads to lies." Now, we witness our head of state refusing to answer straightforward questions from reporters and just shouting back that they are "fake news" — a clever way of turning the story on its head after the focus had been on pro-Trump outlets and advisors peddling false news
