  1. Hi Ricardo!

    There are some very interesting articles you have included here! I didn't know how much Uber drivers are struggling, that is very unfair. This definitely influences me to give higher tips and appreciate my drivers more. I also wasn't aware of the issue with Google and their number of full-time employees!

    Thank you for sharing. These articles definitely opened my eyes to many things going on in our world!

  2. Ricardo, I like where you went with your articles. Especially with an emphasis on big technology abusing their inherent power of the populous and their employees in particular. It really made me think about ethics and where they stand in the face of our new technological revolution. However, I think in the case of uber, their employees are contractors and not "employees" by definition, something the drivers need to be better aware of.

  3. Hey Ricardo!
    I love your article on privacy and apple. It is a fine line to say where apple can deem someone from using their phone and then getting to private on their level. I make it hard to believe that while they are doing it for the right reasons they might be invading privacy during the act.
    Cheers-
