Uber on

Driving for Uber affords me so many opportunities to meet new people. Granted, it's impossible to get to know someone in such a brief time and many of them don't want to engage in conversation at all, but when I've got those that do, it's a good way to get a snapshot of what so many different demographics are thinking.

Yesterday, three young people needed a ride and when I say young, I mean early 20's. When they got in, they heard Rush Limbaugh on my radio talking about Donald Trump and they started asking question.

One asked if Rush wasn't a racist. I asked him if he had ever listened to Rush before. He said that this was the first time. So, I asked him why would he think Rush is a racist if he had never listened to him. He replied that he'd heard that said about Rush. So, I had an enjoyable minute explaining that Rush doesn't like Democrats so Democrats say a lot of things about him trying to discredit him. They asked, "You mean people like Hillary?"

Turns out that they can't stand Hillary Clinton. They don't trust her. They believe she's in bed with the big banks. They know that everything she says could be a lie. Now, they like Bernie but they don't really want to support him and they couldn't really put their finger on why.

Just for fun, I poked at the minimum wage and then the free college thing and asked them why they thought college was too expensive. I brought up that the most expensive thing about college is personnel salary. Then I led them to a question about why should a college professor make so much more money than a McDonald's burger flipper.

Yeah... they're not feelin' the Bern.
