Really? You need to get out more! (just kidding :) )

Seriously though, I’ve used both Uber and AirBnB. I travelled across Europe staying at places i rented on AirBnb. It was a great service. Uber has been half the cost of a cab ride when I’ve used it. Always in a clean, new car with a pleasant driver.

Government hates them because they can’t control them.

I've reached the point in life I was striving for ...

Retired, no mortgage, sufficient (?) [don't let the car break down] .. money, wife knows how to can and clean fish, and only drive to town for shopping and church on Sundays ...

Every day is Saturday.

Yup ... don't get out much ..

Thank God.

I like the concept of uber and airBnB.

When there’s a big event in town, uber gets you where you want without taking a circuitous route and jacking up the fare.

airBnB allows folks going away for the weekend to rent the room and make some money, and provide better accomodations.

The renter isn’t stuck with a timeshare, and saves on not paying hotels twice the price just because its a big event.
