Covid Payment - confirmation

[Theoneandonly]

Betting in Running explained .the race or match is started your team are leading 1-0 or your horse has a nice lead .You think this looks great Ill bet my money on this .Then the other team equalize or the horse hits a fence hard and what looked like a good bet becomes just another bet .Your team might score again and win or your horse might recover and win but you will of gotten no value for your bet as you played at the wrong time .

Now yesterday was the first good Saturday since March but everything might change if the Cough spreads .Everywhere they lifted Lockdown it has been curtailed or reintroduced .Now is not the time to be betting in running on the taxi industry one Swallow does not make a summer .All those people waiting on the Green last night wont be there Monday Night or Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday .

So you have to confirm your income has collapsed?

I got a text from a mate last night to say there was a massive Q on the Green and no Taxis about .... checked the FN App .....






They'll be be on the Radio Monday complaining about the lack of taxis and drivers sponging off the dole, well done lads .... our reputation goes further down the drain

That's the same when there isn't a pandemic, you want there to be Qs on the Green every night before you go back?
Try booking a restaurant any day next week, you'll do well to get a decent slot

Absolutely 100% agree with everything you said erm,its basically what I have been trying to say all along,but you captured what I was saying all along.one thing I would add though,I believe it would be transparent,and drivers would see where the work was going

[taxi1990]

1990 Let me explain to you like I tried to explain to others who talk about apps .TAXI DRIVERS DO NOT WANT AN APP .you read of vaccination for covid .They say that for it to work 70% would need to be vaxinated .Now an app to be really successfull would need the same sort of support there is an Economic Theory to explain why but Im not going to bother me bollox explaining that .Here is the reality people drive taxies because it is a cash business they delude themselves thinking they are making great money because they have a pocket full of Gelt at the end of every shift they go cost blind dont see the costs of running the business and they think they are fooling the tax man and there in lies the stupidity .We were offered an opportunity by Alan Kelly but never took it up .He said he wanted all drivers aligned and the industry to be cashless .We shoild of called for the NTA to set up an app paid for out of our licence fees but the usual Fucktards saw this as THE FUCKING TAXMAN WILL KNOW WHAT WE EARN.and thought they would get caught for income tax on profits after costs .Instead they opted for going with Dispatchers and Apps that charge a % of your earnings before costs . The advantages of a state run app was no commission .Yes the app would know what you earned but the taxman can get that information from the app providers or justask you .It would of discouraged double jobbers as they would of exhausted theit Tax Allowancea in their primary employment ,it would on increased safety as most jobs would of been done in app .The opportunity to get the government to set up an App was lost your arse is now owned by Free Now because thats what you asked for .Drivers gave about 80 MILLION in subsidies to Hailo by not charging the PUC and giving free waiting time .No other app will ever get that sort of suicidal support .

My arse isn't owned by freenow as I don't use the app. you lost me at Alan Kelly to be honest, the man is not to be trusted.

A cashless society isn't a good thing in my opinion. greedy drivers is what will always let us down, some drivers would drive over their granny for a fare.

[dalymount]

1990 my arse is CERTAINLY not owned by FN ,or any dispatcher.I also railed against a cashless industry,and still do.I have found there was no support for my ideas,and although I dont want dispatchers,OR a cashless industry,I suppose the idea of a FAIR  ,and EQUAL distribution of work run by a TRANSPARENT  GOVERNMENT APP slightly more appealing then the gangsters who currently have industry in their greedy mits

Would you ever change the record.
You grumpy bitter old man.

[dalymount]

Ah hack.youve recovered from your drinking bout then. ? Only the way you were talking last night,you were either jealous or pissed,but probably both

[dalymount]

An APP run by the NTA would be a disaster, all stick and no carrot, there'd be fines for starting late or finishing early, doctors notes required for when you're sick, limited holidays and driver recruitment promos every time a few jobs aren't covered
There is nothing wrong with the way FN operate, it's very transparent and they use incentives to try cover the work, everyone has the opportunity to be a Ken if they so desire, it's not favouritism it's business, muppet Taxi drivers moaning because it's all they know how to do.

So it’s something for OAPs.
I still have a long way to go yet.
I do hope when I reach your age I won’t be as bitter as you.
Live your own life and don’t be worried about dispatchers or FN.
Your time is limited on the planet.

it was sent to my bank account. why? imagine a cashless society, that is when government would really have us under their total control, they could do anything they wanted. they are already threatening to stop payments to anyone considering a foreign holiday.

How long would it stay like that though, some chancer in the government would take an envelope and then it would be the same as freenow.

Jacko I know a good physiologist who deals with jealousy,if you want I can give you his number ?

Just listening to the radio and delighted I didn't go out to work last night.
Absolute chaos with people drinking on the streets. No face masks and no social distancing. Don't be surprised if pubs are closed again.
