I've not heard that phrase before. It brilliantly captures exactly how such a clearly predatory business model was blindly accepted by drivers and passengers alike. My ethics won't let me use either as a passenger, regardless of the "good deal"; I never could, and this is an issue with my work as management insists any business travel uses Uber. I flat out refuse. Our CEO's mouth dropped when I explained why, replying in a tiny voice "I'd never considered it that way".
