I don't consider it a fair discussion when the driver falsely insists the fair is $2.75/mile, when it is $3.75/mile and continues to pound the theme when Kalanick had already given his explanation. What is the driver expecting? For Uber to go back and raise fairs on Uber Black?

1) He didn't "insist" it was $2.75. He mentioned the figure once. 2) When he quoted the figure, he said "and it's now what, $2.75?" clearly implying that he's not entirely sure about the current rate.

It seems like the driver should know these basic facts before he engages on the matter.

What does it matter if he knows the exact amounts? The point (one, of many) stands that the pay was lowered.

[pjwal]

So, it matters that it was lowered but actual amounts are inconsequential? I reject that.

As I admitted, I am not privy to the details you refer to. For all we know, he merely misquoted or forgot. The point I'm making is it is just a discussion until Kalanick accuses the driver of playing victim when he has no right to do so. It's a matter of degrees.
