Uber challenging a law that would require a display in the vehicle that says how much of the total cost of a ride goes to the driver: Uber urges block of Colorado law requiring disclosure of driver pay next to rider charges | Courthouse News Service

A listener who is an Uber driver sent me this yesterday when I asked if he's for it or against it: "For it. I think riders would be shocked at what a measly portion of their fare actually gets to the driver. Allegedly we make 70% of the “net” rider fare after taxes and fees. I know that Uber has to keep its margins up and its shareholders happy, but without drivers they don’t exist."

Uber's argument is that the way the law is written appears not to allow Uber to show more detail, such as how much of the total cost goes to taxes and various fees/costs that don't accrue to Uber's bottom line.

Trump is taking care of his base: Trump signs anti-abortion policies after speaking to March for Life - POLITICO

(My take on that one is that the federal government shouldn't be doing any of that funding. I'm pro-choice and so are millions of others, especially lots of rich liberals (I'm not either of those things) and they should fund these non-profits if it's important to them.)
