So ... how 'bout that capitalism?

Uber driver and TikTok content creator @ScottyRides posted a video highlighting his "hack" for free parking at sporting events. The clip may have been meant in jest, but it got some people seriously fired up.

Now the internet can't decide if he is "a liar and a thief" or if he's just some dude trying to survive capitalism with a sense of humor.

Maybe both? But aren't we all?

The philosophical feud started after Scotty posted this TikTok clip:


In it, we see him pull up to a gate attendant who tells him the parking fee is $20.

In response, the driver tells the attendant that he is just dropping off the people in the back seat. The attendant allows Scotty through by telling him to drive forward and to the right.

As he passes through the gate, he comments to the people in the back seat that that's the best way to not have to pay for event parking.

Lots of commenters pointed out that venues have started to adopt designated drop off areas for ride share services like Lyft, Uber, etc. so this wouldn't work everywhere.

But there are quite a few spots - like the Honda Center in Anaheim California, where this was filmed - that don't have that sort of system in place yet.

Scotty did clarify that the clip was posted in jest.

Most people understood the joke and played along.

But some took serious offense to the clip, even going so far as to remind Scotty about Gods judgment.

Which of the two camps are you in? Did you see the humor or do you think Scotty is just taking advantage and should be repeimanded, not praised?

Seth Meyers Responds To Trump's 'Truly Deranged' Personal Attack Against Him With Hilarious Takedown

After President Donald Trump lashed out at late-night host Seth Meyers on Truth Social over the weekend and called him a "truly deranged lunatic," Meyers responded to Trump’s “ranting and raving” about him with a damning supercut on his program.

Trump apparently tuned in to Thursday night’s episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, where Meyers poked fun at the president’s complaints about Navy aircraft carriers using electromagnetic catapults instead of traditional steam-powered ones. Meyers joked that Trump "spends more time thinking about catapults than Wile E. Coyote."

Girl's Hilarious Reaction To Getting Divisive Candy For Halloween Caught On Doorbell Cam

In the '80s and '90s, kids were raised with the understanding that they got what they got, and they should say, "Thank you," for what they received. This was true for birthdays, holidays, and trick-or-treating on Halloween, even if they got candy they wanted to throw away the instant they turned the corner.

But kids today are much more communicative about what they like and don't like, and they can be brutal in their bluntness.

Speaking on The View, Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke about sparring with House Speaker Mike Johnson over healthcare—and revealed that the GOP does not have any replacement for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) despite what Johnson and her fellow congressional conservatives tell the public.

Democrats have continued to reject Republicans’ proposed continuing resolution to keep the government open without considering an extension of the premium tax credit that helps subsidize health insurance for people earning between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level.

People Share The Best Ways To Shut Down A Debate With A Flat Earther Family Member

The Flat Earth conspiracy theory is strictly a modern online movement, rumored to have begun as a prank, that gained momentum among people who mistrust authority through the power of social media.

There is a persistent myth that Europeans in the Middle Ages believed the Earth was flat. But that is a 19th-century fabrication to sell Columbus Day, not historical reality.
