——— Article ——— Yellowstone bears For half a century grizzly bears have been on the endangered list, but thankfully they have been recovered. But a new concern is coming, since grizzlies are off the endangered list 3 Western states are allowed to hold strict hunting seasons for the bear.
Arguments over if grizzles can even survive a hunting,and if grizzles should be hunted for sports started to pop up, though some people claim if hunting is limited and maintained correctly hunting would not affect the population too much.
The low estimate of how many Yellowstone bears are in the Greater Yellowstone area is 700 but it is more likely that there are 1,000.
Overall the recovery and potential hunting of the Yellowstone Grizzly Bear was a controversial subject.

In "Uber And Lyft Drivers Are Striking — And Call On Passengers To Boycott" It talks about how Uber and Lyft drivers are striking and are doing so by boycotting Uber and Lyft for 2 hours and protesting. This is because on minimum wage Uber and Lyft drivers aren't able to make a living, especially with the competition between all these cab drivers, and the fact they only get a fraction of what they make due to ride fees.
This boycott happened because of Uber and Lyft had been taking away most of the money earned by the drivers, this had the drivers struggle more since they weren't making much money. Nusrat Nabila, a thirthy-year-old Uber driver said "Kinda like the big fish making all the money, and we being individuals, I'm at the bottom of the chain so I'm getting pressed." This shows how drivers struggle to already make money since they're giving away most of the money away to these companies. Due to this the NYC drivers are demanding that these companies stop this because they're being selfish, especially since Uber ranks in about 91 billion dollars.
With Uber and Lyft drivers not earning enough money, they're demanding an 'actually living wage'. Esspecially since their wages are getting lower, their 'competition's ' getting higher and their lack of security has made a bad experience for a lot of Uber and Lyft drivers. the NYC drivers association said, "Uber/Lyft going public on the stock market will make billionaires of Uber and Lyft bosses while drivers struggle in poverty and the companies destroy the livelihoods of drivers in every sector," . It shows how selfish these rideshare companies are and how they don't even care about their employees.
