Uber Alaska drivers only work 40 hours a week no more than that

Since the Municipality of Anchorage has not allowed Uber Alaska to practice business like Anchorage Checker Cab and Alaska Yellow Cab.  Uber Alaska drivers are only driving 4 days a week 10 hours a day due to modified agreement employers are allowed to make without paying overtime by Alaska state law.  Some drivers are being 8 hours a day for five days a week.  Uber drivers have more choice where most Anchorage cab drivers have to work 12 hours and work 7 days a week in order to pay lease.  This is a slave labor they also use an Independent contract loophole which Uber Alaska will be using.  Uber will not allow people to use their car more than 10 hours a day.  They will also pay a subscriber fee this is same is what dispatch companies charge a car which is stand rent this is same thing.  Anchorage Taxicab Permit Owner do not like the fact taxi drivers have another outlet to drivers.  This is what Anchorage Checker Cab and Alaska Yellow Cab really object to so they continue to provide lousy service and continue to not provide customer service to their customers from their employees. 

Fair competition is better for Anchorage taxi fleet

Fair competition is better for Anchorage taxi's.  Jim Brennan back in January 2015 told the court that the Anchorage assembly recent action back in November of 2014 was unconstitutional was not correct.  Allow Uber to practice their pickup as long they follow some of the regulations will make the Anchorage taxi market better.  Competition will make the taxi market better.  Not having to pay over 100 grand for a taxi cab permit will make it more competitive.  Taxi permits should be an administrative since the taxi permit do not own their permits.  You can not claim something you pay rent to.  Remember these permits are actually owned by the Municipality of Anchorage not the permit owners.  That would like a renter saying I own my apartment unless you like in a condo or a trailer in trailer park.  Remember the taxi cab permit owners are nothing more than operators not owners.  When this issue goes in front of the Anchorage Assembly lets listen to the truth.  This assembly listen to truth not lies constantly told by members of Anchorage Permit Owners Association. 

Jaylen Friberg has serious mental health issues which caused Marysville-Pilchuck shooting

Jaylen Friberg before he killed his former girl friend and his other friends at a table at the Marysville-Pilchuck High School back in October of 2014.  He had some serious mental health issues.  Washington State has abandoned the ability for families to commit their family members if they are harmful to others or themselves since the 1970's.  Unless a tragedy happens then confinement can not occur.  We need to require the legislature to make people safe not taking law abiding citizens guns away.  This tragedy help the socialist continue to hire the crime wave in Washington State when the voters passed Initiative 594 they were not educated on the 2nd Amendment of the constitution which gives a person the right to defend themselves.
