This is not about a vetting practice.

There is no training for the role of taxi driver. What Uber reveals in the USA is the condition of the people as well. Both, Uber and the American people are in a desperate state to provide services to make money. 

I realize Jason Dalton did unspeakable violence, but, he has a witness to a phone call that sent him over the edge. I want to know who was on the other end of that phone call? 

He was a father of two. I am assuming the children are okay and nothing happened while there father was trying to earn money as an Uber driver. I want to know if Uber dispatch was at the other end of the phone. What broke him into a maniac driver? 

It isn't unusual for free lancing taxi drivers, even gypsies, to be armed. Something happened and I want to know what it is. From the sounds of it he experienced at least temporary insanity. There is a witness to that fact.

The story is too big to let go. This is about the state of affairs of the poor in American. The working poor to be exact.

Kalamazoo, Michigan has about the same unemployment rate as Michigan's average at 5.9 percent. Michigan's unemployment rate is 5.4 percent. 

There are two children tonight that don't know what happened to their father. To top it all off, the victims make it to the emergency room alive only to be evaluated for organ harvest.

There is so much wrong with this picture and it doesn't get better. Americans complain about the condition of their quality of living and nothing changes. Not for the working poor. These folks need training and encouragement. They have impossible situations and for some reason can't find their way out of them. Working for Uber is an impossible situation. No one drives for Uber because they are successful, happy and experiencing job security.

I can only wonder what goes on with Air B&B, too. All these internet companies that toy with the lives of 'room for profit space' are detrimental to the American economy. They are not only detrimental to the economy, they are detrimental to quality of life and consumer safety. Those companies should have already dissolved for the liability they create, but, they are rescued because someone wants to find a better vetting process. 

Since when does the American public have information to improve an Uber vetting process? This is a company that doesn't care about people, if it did it would have closed up shop a long time ago and liquidated to pay liability payoffs.

So, we have a driver over the edge because of a phone call, a hospital already over the edge and playing god to improve the delivery time of harvested organs, children abandoned and a country that actually thinks it can 'work through' any problem a human being can have as a community of caring and wonderful people.

NOT!

The deaths of six people in Kalamazoo, Michigan, (click here) who authorities say were shot by a driver for Uber Technologies Inc [UBER.UL], have revived scrutiny over how the ride service vets its drivers, an issue that has plagued it for years.
Uber, which said it is cooperating with the police investigation, said its safety protocol is robust and adequate. The San Francisco company will not change the way it vets its drivers in the aftermath of the shooting, Chief Security Officer Joe Sullivan said Monday.
"If there is nothing on someone's record, no background check will raise a red flag," Sullivan told reporters on a conference call.
Jason Dalton, 45, who is being held without bail, had no prior criminal record and passed the company's background check.
But critics, including taxi companies that compete with Uber, say the car service could do more to protect passengers.
Uber has been criticized over allegations of rapes and other assaults by its drivers around the world, and on Friday a former Uber driver in Boston was convicted of assaulting a passenger, according to the Boston Globe....

There was a time in the USA when Concealed Carry actually meant something. It is a joke now. 

Republicans have puppet strings and they are directly attached to profits and this is the result of deregulation of every aspect of American life to find the profits where they are hiding.
