Well get back to me when you have figured this utopian vision out.

In the meantime I will trust my local members and health/safety experts in the public sector over one US company trying to make billions as quickly as possible.

Fine, trust them. Just don't force everyone else to do the same.
Nice False dilemma... How about you trust neither....

I do not trust uber, and I damn sure do not trust the government.

As far as a utopia, that is the dream of a statist. Statists believe if they elect just the right people, and pass just the right laws everyone will be safe, happy and life will finally be bliss for all....

Nonarchic (Anti-Statism) libertarians like myself do not believe in a utopia, we believe in a rational foundation of ethics we accept that bad things will happen to good people. We believe that over the long term allowing individuals to be free provides the best method for most people to be able to live happy and fulfilled lives as they desire.
