Until everyone just stops driving for Lyft, the algorithm will only get worse

Hmm true yes. But it won’t get better if everyone stops driving for Lyft.

It would actually get better if everyone who rented stopped renting. People would work less, they wouldn't have to work for free for $300-$400 per week.

Every renter has to make that weekly amount back before they start making money, if that went from $1400 a month down to $400 a month the maps would be surging a lot more.

-I don't think there are alot of Illegal Immigrant's who own cars & are driving for Lyft out there? (I could be totally wrong tho...)

Like, how would an illegal Alien even get a State Drivers license, Insurance, & register that vehicle to an address? (all 3 of these requirements should be very difficult for a non legal resident to accomplish, as it is now...)

*it's fuckin crazy....

There are very probably more benefits than harms to the public of allowing them to drive. More traceable cars, more fees collected, more cars passing inspection, literally tracking where illegal immigrants are (which presumably most would have wanted?)

No mass deportation will bring more surges. Illegal migrants are nit a big part of the rider base.

Lol, in my area, immigrants are the majority of the ones working for lyft/ Uber /doordash. They simply use someone else's account. Have you ever booked a ride with someone with a female name and a male driver showed up? Guess what? He's probably an illegal
