Uber's business practices have made me ashamed of the tech industry for several years now. Recent developments are just telling me they aren't only screwing drivers but some of their engineers too.

Their competition is also funded by big VCs and/or big corporations, there's no inherent problem with that. Not everyone who thinks Uber is a scumbag company is pushing some fictitious neo-Marxist agenda.

How are they actually screwing their drivers? Are they forcing, misleading or tricking the drivers?

If you believe all the bollocks you hear on HN, then the drivers are but poor helpless farmers who don't understand how complicated things like 'money' works, and who were forced at gun point to buy luxury cars to become a full time Uber drivers.
