That's my problem - these studies all assume that Uber and Lyft are competing against real jobs. The reality is that they are competing with jobs that are far worse and winning as a result. The Uber drivers I've talked to are glad to not being working at CVS or Burger King.

The real question is how does the richest nation in history think it is OK to pay adults a sub-living wage to do degrading menial labor so that a small number of people can be incredibly wealthy.
