> allow the market to float with as little regulation as possible

That sounds like a recipe for a race to the bottom that ends in Dickensian sweatshops.

I don’t think so. Denmark or Sweden lacks a minimum wage. People are free to not work with Uber. They are free to work with them. If there is labor that will accept Uber’s terms, let them. Allow competition. Remove the regulations around taxis having medallions that cost 100k.

When I think of markets with "as little regulation as possible", Denmark and Sweden don't really cross my mind...

They have high taxes instead of regulations. In USA companies are forced to provide all of these benefits to its employees, in Sweden you pay taxes and the government provides them instead. The end result is that companies has to do less and workers don't have to worry about companies trying to trick them into not getting those benefits.

No min wage can make sense without a good social safety net. The us doesn't really have anything like those other countries.
