Anyone ever use Turo to rent out your car while you aren’t using it? Was it worth it?

I’m an avid Turo user. Although I don’t know if I would really be keen on renting out my car, unless that was part of my initial purchase thesis/idea.

I was thinking about buying the new Jeep Wrangler electric. Apparently jeep wranglers always get sold out

My uncle did it with his M3, and it was mostly bad for him. Even with the insurance, he described it like letting a smoker sleep in your bed while wearing their clothes and shoes.

He’d have felt differently if he did it with the intent of buying a car just for Turo rentals, but he was an early adopter.

A HR question I really want to understand. ISRS HR quoted a podcast "The not so great resignation" saying 70% regret leaving and many want to go back to old employer. If this really the case the employee likely left due to higher pay at the new company. If they want to boomerang back they will likely come back at even a higher rate than they left the new company for. So getting double raise when they boomeranged. Isn't it unbeneficial, why not just give employee a 7% raise in the first place?
