I like how this comment just sits here, unceremoniously ignored. Perhaps you're a little too cynical in how you've framed this, but it has a correct central thesis. The reason most people aren't as bothered by this situation as they "should be" is... things were worse under the old Taxi system for everyone we should have sympathy for. Uber didn't make everything perfect, but they improved things dramatically. So sure, let's keep improving things. But if the "anti-Uber" fanatics take down Uber, they won't get an improvement. They'll get the old system back, which was worse for drivers and passengers alike. |

The only people that would benefit are lawyers, lobbyists, and the taxi industry.
Pretty sure there are _independent_ polls of ride share drivers in the 60% to 70% that like the system as it is. You can drive whenever you want for as long as you want. No boss. Just you and your car and some cool people getting from point A to point B.
But somehow this is equated to full time jobs and the lack of benefits. If someone wants benefits, they can always get a regular FT job. The market has plenty of them at the moment. I have never once met an Uber driver that hated Uber.
