UBER RIPS YOU OFF AND LIES TO YOU! Salt Lake City Utah

I've been driving for UBER for about a month and they advertise that you will make $35 or more per hour.  WHAT A LIE!  I have averaged $14.63 per hour but take the gas cost out of that and you are down to $8.71 per hour.  Now you calculate the cost of maintenance and wear and tear on your car and you're upside down.  You're actually paying UBER to use you!  If you figure one tune up a year at $180.00 minimum, an oil change or more per month because you're driving so much (another $32.00). So after gas you're making in a ten hour day about $87.10 and you haven't paid taxes on it yet.  Figure on the $146.30 you'll pay approximately 28% if you're lucky so reduce your $87.10 another 40.96 and you're down to $46.14 (for you math majors out there that is $4.61 per hour not including maintenance. Multiply that by 4 for the four weeks in the month and you're making a grand total of $184.56 having worked 200 hours so you're making about 93 cents per hour.     There's another catch.  You need to keep your car clean so figure another 6-10 dollars per week for cleaning and you're making about $150.00 per month in your 200 hours and you can be so proud to be earning 75 cents per hour.  I think McDonalds is paying 10-14 dollars per hour so you can increase your earnings by about 1500% just by working at McDonalds instead.  UBER is ripping people off and thats the bottom line.  DON'T FALL FOR IT PEOPLE, YOU'LL REGRET IT, I SURE DID!  There is one more thing I forgot to mention.  UBER is monitoring you so if you're not the perfect little chauffer, then you can get poor ratings and they will shut you down.  Most people will be the short, unprofitable ride and waste your time and resources.  The people don't care about you and neither does UBER.  They proved it when they lowered their costs to make more money by getting more rides out of more drivers.  It works great for UBER and they screw the drivers.  UBER is only good for UBER and not anyone or anything else.  Why do you think taxi's cost what they do?  Do the math and think about it before you let UBER use you up.  GOOD LUCK!
