If Uber is lower-priced, then more people will want it. And if more people want it and can afford it, then you have more cars on the road.

The sun’s going down and we can’t afford to come back to it tomorrow.

My bedtime was 8 P.M. But on ‘Cosby’ nights, I got to stay up until 8:30. Real big deal. This is when they could afford to do a completely different title sequence in TV every year.
