It may help Uber out on the short term since they are only looking at the numbers but not their drivers or their customers.

You're dealing with humans here and nobody wants to work twice as hard for the same amount of money or very slightly more.

So what happens is that the quality slips and good drivers will go where there's more money to be earned easily.

There's a limit to how low you can drive the prices before the good contractors start ditching the ship.

I foresee bad things in Uber's future.
