I agree with you. 2 or 3 years ago I posted how I dislike Uber as they are shady and unethical and how some of the drivers do unethical stuff as well. Got downvoted every time because "cab drivers don' do that?"
Exactly. People like Uber for "breaking the taxi cab monopoly"... by building their own monopoly.
Yes. And to pile on the "I told you so" stack, I also have been saying here for years that Uber is actually worse and the way they're fighting the "taxi mafia" implies that we'll be worse off when they win.
Exactly. One of Uber's main boasts is that they're "creating jobs" while actively trying (by stealing other Google's tech) to eliminate their drivers.
