Waymo: The Robot Invasion

First they build your trust. Then they build your dependency. Then they raise the prices. Google's Waymo is following the exact same playbook Uber used—except this time, there's no driver to share the profits with.

The Trap: Trust → Dependency → Pay More

Here's how it works:

• Phase 1 - Build Trust: Offer cheap rides, seem innovative and cool
• Phase 2 - Create Dependency: Expand everywhere, become the default option
• Phase 3 - Extract: Once you're hooked, raise prices—you'll pay WayMO money!

Sound familiar? It's exactly what Uber did. Subsidized rides for years, destroyed taxi competition, then jacked up prices and slashed driver pay. Waymo will do the same—except with NO drivers to pay at all.

The Robot Invasion Has Begun

Waymo currently operates over 100,000 paid rides per week. Each vehicle runs 24/7, never gets sick, never complains. For corporations, it's a dream. For workers? A nightmare.

Jobs They'll Eliminate

• 1.5 million rideshare drivers
• 230,000 taxi drivers
• 3.5 million truck drivers
• Hundreds of thousands of delivery drivers

What $5.5 Billion Could Have Done Instead

• Pay 100,000 drivers $55K/year
• Health insurance for 500,000 gig workers
• Fund driver cooperatives in every major city

Instead? Building robots to replace workers.

The Price Trap Coming

• Now: Cheap rides to build market share
• Soon: Competitors gone, prices rise
• Future: You'll pay WayMO money with no alternative

"I was in a Waymo that stopped in an intersection and wouldn't move. No human to help. Just sat there 15 minutes while cars honked."

The Bottom Line

When Waymo completes a ride, 100% goes to Google shareholders. No driver. No family to support. Just billionaire profit.

They couldn't pay drivers fairly. But they found $5.5 billion to eliminate them.
