> But if you're on the lower income scale and you need Uber to help you get between your second and third job (because you can't afford a car and public transit is unreliable) or you need it to get to a doctor's appointment, this kind of change is a big deal.

Well, in this line of thinking, you should just tell people to quit their third job and go drive an Uber, I hear they'll be paying more as a minimum wage...

There's no excuse to keep people in poverty because other people are poor.
