Maybe try your local community college to see if any photography students are looking for practice?

That is horrifying, poor kid. I have never used a ride-share because I'm too scared of possibilities like this but I also don't live in an area in which it's necessary.

If you own a house your address is google-able now a days. It’s public record.

Where are you at? Every morning I have these little "shits" in my walnut tree in mass numbers. Between them and the finches. I have been feeding them only because it attracts the local hawks who take care of them. It works out nicely.

You are mostly correct. These companies do run year round and in the fall-winter-spring (pre-MDW) usually bring people to airports, weddings, concerts, Giants-Jets-Yankees-Mets, etc games). The staff doubles from MDW to LDW. But, These “seasonal drivers” have been driving for these companies for years upon years. It’s actually very hard to get this summer job because many of the companies have longtime veteran working staffs. You’ll find a lot of the summer drivers are teachers from the local Jersey Shore school districts simply working a side-hustle to support their own children. These are mature adults who have so much to lose if they were to pull some of the things that some Uber and Lyft drivers do (not saying all Uber and Lyft drivers are bad). Bottom line: when you use a taxi van company you are getting accountability, safety, and local knowledge. And oh yeah… no price gouging or random “surges” the ride share tech Bros pull off.

good on you for finding an example from the last 7 days, because yes this is systemic and nationwide.
but the poster you're replying to does not believe you, because he has had nothing but pleasant experiences with his local cops at the deli

fwiw, it's clear that we did not protest enough in America after George Floyd's murder, since that scorpion unit was not reviewed and they were allowed and seemingly empowered by their culture to do this to this man. so we must protest more...shut down more highways and tunnels, until the message is heard and actions to prevent this are taken.
people aren't kidding when we say, 'no justice, no peace. if we don't get it, shut it down." cops can be part of the solution or remain the entire problem.

I can see where that works in smaller communities most of the year. I assume (and I stress assume) in the shore communities they have to hire temporary seasonal employees that would change year to year just like most industries there. They wouldn't keep the same employee numbers in January that they would in July.

Compost bags, you can get a package of 80 of them on Amazon for like $25 but I'm sure there's better deals somewhere. another option is when you're at the grocery store, go to the produce section and when no one is looking take one of those giant spools of the produce bags they have for putting your veggies in.

I did this for a field trip when I was in elementary school. Those fluorescent rocks blew my little mind! Even got to choose a small one to keep.

Does Edison's old factory count? Fascinating stuff, even if he was a terrible human being

Craigslist, or even call local photographers and ask once they say they can’t do it for that price if they know anyone. Sometimes they have assistants trying get into it and are willing to do it cheap. Not sure where your located but also go to your local photography store if there is a local one and ask around or check their push pin boards. Go on the Nextdoor app, check Groupon (the wedding photographer I worked for did this when she started and now does 50+ weddings a year at like 10k a wedding).
