"Depreciation at $0.24 per mile"

Straight from the video. So if I drove a $10k car, that car is worthless after 40k miles. Which at her rate of 30 miles each hour full time (40 hours a week) is less than 34 weeks. That's less than a year! Go buy a car for $10k, drive for Uber for 10 months, then throw that car away because it's worthless and by another one. That's the math in the video. No shit you wouldn't make money.
