Uber adds fuel surcharge due to spike in gas prices
02:00am, Saturday, 12'th Mar 2022 Engadget
Unusually high gas prices throughout the US and Canada has led to Uber tacking on a fuel surcharge to rides and deliveries, according to a blog post on the company’s website. This likely won’t surprise anyone who’s gotten behind the wheel recently. A rapid spike in crude oil and gas prices due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has made paying anywhere from $50 to $80 to fill a tank the norm. “We know that prices have been going up across the economy, so we’ve done our best to help drivers and couriers without placing too much additional burden on consumers. Over the coming weeks we plan to listen closely to feedback from consumers, couriers and drivers. We’ll also continue to track gas price movements to determine if we need to make additional changes,” wrote Uber spokesperson Liza Winship on the company’s website. Uber’s fuel surcharge will vary by state and by the amount of miles driven. For Uber rides, the fuel surcharge will be anywhere between $0.45 to $0.55 per trip. For Uber Eats deliveries, the fee will be between $0.35 to $0.45 per trip.

Democrats Would Lose Control Of Congress If Election Were Held Today, New Polls Show
01:00am, Saturday, 12'th Mar 2022 Zero Hedge
Democrats Would Lose Control Of Congress If Election Were Held Today, New Polls Show The latest polls out of Washington show that President Biden and his fellow Democrats are continuing to lose ground to the Republicans despite the president''s first State of the Union Address and his recent ban on Russian oil imports. According to WSJ''s lastest poll numbers, just 42% of Americans said they approved of President Biden''s performance in office, which was virtually unchanged from the previous WSJ poll in mid-November. That''s also roughly in line with the Real Clear Politics average, which we''ll get to later. But on the question of who would win control of Congress in November if the vote were held today , the Republicans have a commanding lead at 46% to the Democrats 41% of respondents. The president and his fellow Democrats are losing ground on other issues as well. Take COVID for example: a 16-percentage-point Democratic edge on which party would best handle the pandemic was down to 11 points, while a 9-percentage-point lead on education-related issues had fallen to just 5 percentage points.
