Think about potential drivers in rural areas. I can see this being a key feature that helps Lyft expand into areas with low population density and sparse ridership. Drivers don't want to turn on the app and wait all day -- they'd

Agreed. While I thought the Southwest airlines story was very interesting (fighting court battles for years before operating their first flight!), I could barely make it through the show on 5-hour Energy.

The story isn't so simple. Hispanics have a longer life expectancy than non-Hispanic whites in the US, despite having much lower income levels. This is known as the Hispanic Epidemiological Paradox, and a lot of research has gone into
