Uber isn't making the world a better place. Not in any meaningful way. Not in the way they exploit drivers; not in the way they feel they can dare and do anything. Uber is the worst face of the "sharing economy", which is a fitting definition of these kind of businesses only if by "sharing" you mean: "dear worker use your own property to make money for us while we centralize profits without even having to own the means of production". It's a metastasis of capitalism.
