The Sharing Economy: how much you sharing?
Today I rented a car for two days on Turo. $80.40 complete total. It's the 8th time I've done it.
I've also done AirBnB, Lime Bike, Uber, Bird Scooter. What services have you used in this new sharing economy? Most people are 20-40 using these services and I'm nearly 56. |

I don't have much a clue what you are even talking about.

Damn I've never tried Turo. I paid well over 100 bucks for 2 uber trips to an s from the airport. I could've had a damn car for the entire time I was there.

You will be shocked at how cheap it is. It's not like Hertz or Avis where you get a brand new car and pay $99 a day plus fees. This is 7-8 year sold vehicles for $35-50 a day all in.

You're not claiming full credit, scho. Escorts are part of the sharing economy, too.

My views of the sharing economy:
1. Airbnb and home sharing - Nope. I figure the owners all have hidden cameras, and when I'm alone in a room by myself, things happen that no one should see. 2. Uber/Lyft and other car share stuff - Great concept when it started. Now it's basically non-certified taxis driven by third world taxi drivers in their off hours. I use them a lot, but I use them less now that they make the drivers beg for tips. 3. Scooters and bikes and stuff. I would certainly use these. I just don't have much opportunity. I have a large walking radius, and beyond that I'm generally taking a bus or I'm driving/ubering. 4. Rent someone's personal car. I've never done it. I'm not averse to it, but I like the implied homogeneity and reliability of the rental car companies. I'm not likely to try it for that reason. 5. Household stuff sharing. I saw something a while back about a site where you can share household goods back and forth. This is for things that you need once in a while but not often, like an electric screwdriver or a pony or a snowblower. It seems like it could be a good idea, but I don't remember the site and I seldom need something expensive that I don't already have.

I've been really enamored with buying a recumbent trike recently. But a friend who's a big bike guy is talking me out of it with logic and reason.

To own. There's a guy in my neighborhood that has one and he really gets around. Haven't seen him pedal yet. Don't get a trike , they make people think you're too stupid to keep your balance.
