Giving the parent the benefit of the doubt, I interpreted "what more do drivers want" as "what more can drivers expect to get", which I think is a reasonable question for what seems to be an as-yet unsustainable company. I don't think it necessarily implies a lack of sympathy for drivers, which I assume is the reason for the downvotes.

Yeah. I take it as a given that they want to be billionaire emperors, but that is not very relevant. If people are interpreting "want" outside of the realms of what is possible for them to get, then they aren't on the same page with me about what that word means in this context.

But I'm not getting downvoted because of semantics. There's a very vocal socialist/labor movement contingent on HN that flocks to discussions like this.
