A United States Senator Drives for Uber

"Someone in the government is actually working." 

Now that’s something you, uh, hardly ever hear, say, or write. But thanks to Senator Ben Sasse, that is a sentence being uttered a little more as of late.

The Senator from Lincoln, Nebraska is driving part-time for Uber. He’s reportedly doing it for two reasons: charity and to get to know his constituents a little better. ​

I like to work alongside and for Nebraskans.

(For charity--I'm obv'ly not allowed to make any outside money)

Pro-Tip
If you throw up in an uber, the surcharge can be substantial

Upside: It's a market incentive to get drivers to agree to Sat.pm work
