I'd like to see Uber provide anything close to the value that the public school or transit system does to LA.

Lucky you, just take an Uber and witness its superiority to the LA transit system.
When has Uber released a feature seven months ahead of schedule?

Clearly we value different things.
I don’t understand - can’t you value both transportation and education?
Sure, albeit in some concrete context where the processes, structures, and effects of transportation and education can be adequately compared in order to interpret the valuing to begin with.

The above commenter was clearly not interested in having a discussion about what they value in order to see this evident superiority, though, so I didn't see any point in pressing the conversation further.
