So this is only about Uber NOT enforcing surge pricing
The internet
actually what happened was taxi companies in NY decided to stop picking up drivers at the airport in solidarity for those stuck because of Trump's executive order and Uber tweeted that it was cancelling sure pricing in the airport
(when there is high demand on Uber in an area it triggers higher prices to, as Uber claim, incentivize more drivers to turn on the app)
so someone in twitter started the #DeleteUber hashtag as a response
note that Uber's release was 36 minutes after the stoppage was to end
“We’re sorry for any confusion about our earlier tweet — it was not meant to break up any strike,” the company told Business Insider. “We wanted people to know they could use Uber to get to and from JFK at normal prices, especially last night.”
An Uber spokesperson also told Fortune that “the decision to turn off surge pricing was made specifically to avoid profiting from increased demand during the protest.
^that still doesn't make sense. Turning off surge pricing disincentivizes drivers to go there. If anything it supported them
And striking there is stupid to begin with. How are the people at the airport going to get home?

Also if folks gonna kick uber to the curb. Why not do the same for Macys, Paypal and etc..... Since they do business with/support Trump

Paypal doesn't support Trump. Just cause elon musk was a founder he is no longer associated with the brand at all.
