Moments ago, I gave a testimony to the US House Committee on Financial Services, on the impact of de-risking in the Caribbean. Unfair and unjust reports, requirements and potential blacklisting poses serious consequences for all aspects of our society. It can and must change.

So Jamaicans took 200,000 #Uber rides in its 1st year. Say the avg cost/ride is a conservative J$500. That means Jamaicans spent J$100,000,000. That also means drivers earned J$75,000,000, since Uber's cut is about 25%. This, as 2 new #rideshare entrants are on the way.
