This outcome that Vasquez is being held liable where Uber has not.

I think there was a sense among Uber's own employees that something unfair had happened here. Hello and welcome to Tech Won't Save Us.

I'm your host, Paris Marks.

And before I get to this week's guest, just an update on the membership drive that the show

is holding this month.

Tech Won't Save Us does turn two years old at the end of April.

And so to celebrate that,

I set a goal of reaching 100 new or upgraded supporters at $5 a month or above so that I can bring on

a producer to help me make the show and to ensure that I can focus more on the research and the

interviews and then get someone else to do the editing and the other tasks that I don't have so much

skill at and I think someone else can handle better. And as of Wednesday afternoon, when I am

recording this, we are very, very close to hitting that goal. We're at 96 of 100 supporters. And so just a

few more of you supporting will help us get over that line so I can

hit that 100 mark and start preparing to bring on a producer. And so if you join at $5 a month or

above, that's the Caesar Cut Replicant tier, you'll get some stickers in the mail, you can join the

Discord server, and you'll also get access to new Q&As that I'll be starting in May or June

And then if you join at $10 a month, you will get all of those things plus a metal pin that will be shipping out in June and it will be the first time that there is a pin made for the podcast

So you'll be in on the first batch of those

So thank you so much to the people who have supported the campaign up until now.

And if you like the show, if you enjoy these conversations, I'd ask you to consider joining them

so I can bring on a producer and make the show even better.

And so before I get to this week's guest, I want to thank a few of those people.
