After a bad experience with Uber Eats, I swore to never use them again, and now I’m glad they are failing. The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.

As much as you can hate a service, please consider the the primary "victims" of a layoff are the workers, not the company itself.

I don't think that any specific individual "deserves" to be punished for having worked at a company like Uber. There might be exceptions, and there might be a few specific individuals that crossed the line, but most people do their work and behave with honesty, and they don't deserve your negativity.

They will find new work and recover.

Uber will not.

Not necessarily. Unemployment at 20% in the US at the moment; not all of them will find another job.
Good grief, using that quote for that purpose. Madness
I fail to see the issue.
Using that quote in this context essentially represents the epitome of first-world problems and privilege.
