Blog 8: THE FINAL BLOG

On Monday May 9, 2016 Jennifer Silva published an article titled "Taking Culture Wars To The Toilet". Her article is about the law that's being passed that men that turned themselves into a woman and woman that turn themselves into a man can use whichever restroom they want to. I strongly agree with Jennifer's, she goes on about how its not right and how certain targets around the world are allowing this and passing this law. This is so crazy people, loyal customers of target are no longer wanting to shop there because they are so disturbed. Which they have every right to be. I know i use this phrase a lot in most of my articles but now and days their are so many messed up corrupted people out there you don't know who to trust. Lets say for instance you send your eleven year old daughter into the bathroom alone thinking nothing of it, assuming she'd be safe and as she's walking out of the restroom you notice a man a full grown MAN behind her walking out of the same exact restroom, not looking what so ever like a transgender just a normal man. That would make you feel so uncomfortable because you have no idea what he's capable of and if he talking to your child in there or took perverted photos of her. I believe and also agree with Jennifer when she says you should have to be allowed only to attend the bathroom of the gender that you were born with and that appears on your birth certificate. I have nothing against gays, or transgenders but i do feel very uncomfortable if i'm planning on using the bathroom and theirs a man in their with me. We should be able to feel safe while in a restroom and if we don't this whole pick and choose which ever restroom you want to go to law should NOT be passed for the safety and comfort of others.

Uber Preparing To Leave Houston If City Keeps Existing Rules

On April 27, 2016 an article from The Texas Tribune titled "Uber Preparing To Leave Houston If City Keeps Existing Rules" basically stating that the company plans to cease operations if Houston Tx if the city counsel doesn't back off with all the rules and regulations.

Houston is one of two cities in the country where uber is operating that its drivers undergo fingerprint-based background checks.

Honestly I think that of course uber drivers should get background checks because now and days this world is so messed up you have no idea who you can trust and you absolutely do not want get in a vehicle with someone dangerous. There has been a story on an uber driver that rapped two girls that he picked up which explains why this is such a serious matter.

Apparently uber has already left three cities in Texas and is threatening to do the same to Austin if they approve similar regulations.

I think that our government should stand strong and keep fighting this and not back down because the best way to keep out country safe is to set rules and regulations and with that a major rule that we need to have is for uber drivers should have to get fingerprinted and background checked its only whats right and whats fair to us. The key word with all of this is "safety" and we should be able to feel safe with this company that is very high in demand and very popular famous people even us them.

This is just my opinion and im one thats all for rules and regulations if it means that we are safe and don't have to worry about danger and crazy people driving me home or to places i need to get to and i will not be able to drive to. We go in thinking we can trust these people so we don't really think about bad things that can happen so thats why i feel strongly about going more into who is going to be my uber driver and who im putting my trust in.
