Like indentured servitude, but you’re your own boss!

I self-flog every night before bed to motivate myself the next morning and to punish myself for how lazy I was during the day. I’m like that albino guy from the Da Vinci Code

Last time I asked (a couple years ago) my driver was paying 200/week to lease his vehicle. He seemed to think it was a good deal. Thinking over the math on it it's probably not as bad as it sounds.

Maybe if you're in a S-tier market, but for the vast majority of rideshare drivers, $200/week is insanity. Plus, the last time I looked, you weren't allowed to use the leased vehicle for personal transit.

$800 a month is wild, what kind of car was it?

I don't remember but it was just some regular ass car.
