The credit card fee and the software make up 5% for Up & Go. Other costs, such as insurance, are in the other 95%, and the article notes that the co-op was already up and running. Given that the big sharing companies are losing money hand over fist, I think we need continued analysis of their economic models. Summary, the extractive companies are losing money with the same software that enables the co-ops to function. How is that? Thanks, though, for the work that you are doing — it brings hope.
