TC is siding with decisions made with full consideration for the real world impact of those decisions, rather than a fantasy-based approach where consequences, justified or not, don't exist. Rather than pretending these companies wouldn't do exactly what they said (and are) doing, they should have been thinking about how to resolve those issues in the bill itself.

Instead they commissioned a study, voted prior to the results, found out their own study didn't agree with them, and are now desperately backpedaling because of the outcome of the vote. All things that could and should have been avoided if competent people were involved.

This. All of this.

When a politician is given a vote, they need to understand the impact that vote might have and how many lives that vote is altering. We dont live in a vacuum. A law or a city ordinance will have an impact on people subject to that laws jurisdiction and sometimes even outside of it.

And you can say all day long that Uber and Lyft are evil corporations and you would be absolutely right. But like them or not, they have been around long enough to where they are now ingrained into society. You dont get to just say fuck them. They have power whether you like it or not. If you want to change the game, you have to play the game that is currently in front of you.

The state government has been negotiating with Uber and Lyft for nearly a year now, coming up with a compromise bill that would give the drivers a significant raise and be at a rate where the two companies find acceptable. These negotiations were part of a very large commissioned comprehensive study which was going to be released literally the day after the city council vote.

But the Minneapolis City Council didnt care about any of that. They instead pulled numbers out of their ass, passed the ordinance and said We ride at dawn, bitches!

The Minneapolis City Council might reconsider its controversial rideshare plan that has prompted Uber and Lyft to pull out.

The agenda for the council's Thursday meeting contains a "notice of intent to move reconsideration" of last week's vote to override the veto of Mayor Jacob Frey. The actual vote wouldn't happen until the council's following meeting on April 11.

The notice was brought by Council Member Andrea Jenkins, who expressed reservations about overriding Frey's veto but ultimately supported the override. Jenkins could not immediately be reached for comment.

Much was unclear Wednesday morning and the 13-member city council is often an incubator of procedural drama but one scenario is this: One or more of the 10 council members who supported the override could have buyer's remorse and want to change their vote, or at least buy time to see if some agreement could be reached with state lawmakers and Gov. Tim Walz, who are grappling with the issue themselves.

The override vote meant that a new ordinance setting minimum pay for drivers will move forward. It immediately prompted the two ride-hailing giants to announce they were ceasing operations in the city May 1, when the ordinance takes effect. Lyft announced it would pull out of the city, while Uber announced it would pull out of the entire Twin Cities metro.

Several supporters of the ordinance, who championed it as a victory for workers, had scoffed at the companies' threats to leave, but the companies seem to be making good on it. Both have told drivers and riders that they're leaving.

The fallout has been swift and fierce, with business groups, some in the public, and even Walz himself expressing frustration.

Chief among their frustrations: A state-commissioned study released last week effectively provided a roadmap for how drivers could be paid the equivalent of minimum wage the stated goal of ordinance supporters. But the minimums the study landed on were well below what the City Council approved and closer to minimums Frey had proposed, which he said the rideshare companies would accept.

The council had been told the study was coming, but decided to vote on the pay minimums ahead of it, approving the plan 9-4. Then Frey vetoed their action, the study came out, and the council overrode the veto 10-3. Council supporters of the move appeared to either disregard the study or not fully comprehend it.

What followed: behind-the-scenes scrambling at City Hall, as clerks and council members scrutinized council rules and parliamentary procedures. Meanwhile, several state lawmakers have attempted to whip council votes.

It's unclear if the council could actually change the minimum pay standards at the April 11 meeting, or merely vote to undo the override.

It also wasn't immediately clear Wednesday morning how many votes a simple majority of seven or a supermajority of nine would be needed to undo the override.
Frey greeted Wednesday's developments with guarded hope.

"Thus far, the Council has been unwilling to engage all relevant parties in developing the ordinance they pushed through," he said in a statement. "But there has been and still is room for compromise to ensure drivers who rely on rideshare services for a paycheck get a raise and riders who rely on the service can continue getting around our city."

I was on Ambien for a short time, and the worst thing I did was I had to call in sick for work because I couldnt remember anything I did five minutes prior. I had no memory that I brushed my teeth or put on my shoes and the only way I knew is because my mouth tasted minty and I looked down and saw my shoes on my feet. That was the last time I ever took it.

Did you see those renderings of the facility? That is the equity stake. You can't lift-and-shift the infrastructure after it has been built. That facility will generate revenue for the city and state for many decades.

And theyll be generating revenue for decades even if the public refuses to pay, because the Chiefs are not leaving Kansas City.
