I would have really dug this when I was in college and considered myself far left, but now I don’t believe it makes any sense: the reason Uber has succeeded is that there are people who voluntarily use it to make money by driving and people who voluntarily use it for their transportation. It therefor fulfills both the desires of many drivers and passengers who see it as their best choice. Regulation may be great for the few licensed taxi drivers, but for everyone else it decreases availability and increases price.
