oooh it's so capitalist and evil. nevermind that cabs in most parts of the country are so SPS that people will drive shitfaced and risk going to jail rather than deal with them.

Well in my experience Uber is world's better than a cab. They're not even on the same planet as far as user experience. Blacklisting credit cards? Probably because these broke shitlibs didn't pay and got them closed.

About two weeks ago I was on the PATH from WTC to Newark and the service shut off in jersey city. Something with the track between the stops. They suspended service and kicked everyone off the train. The cabbies wanted $30 a person and 4 people at a time to take people to Newark. So the idea that cabbies are some honest salt of the earth folk, like most shitlib myths, is utter nonsense. They would happily have left people stranded there.

I've been posting about this for a while. All these SHITLIBS love to talk about how much they LURRRVVVEEE Uber, but then they're conflicted because it doesn't match what their lib overlords are telling them.

People who criticize Uber's methods are hilarious. Lib politicians, lib-popular companies like Apple, in many examples when liberalism + capitalism/competition mix, they get results similar to Uber. It's absurd how they single out Uber. All hypocrites.

If Uber is engaging in questionable tactics, Lyft can simply file a temporary restraining order in federal court. The side dialogue about capitalism and evil corporations is fucking stupid. Especially when the author isn't impacted by Uber one fucking bit, except for getting cheaper/better car service. Lol, what a piece of shit article.

> Existing taxi drivers are worried that they can’t compete against part-timers. What happens when everyone is a part-timer? Is a larger pool of drivers engaged in competition so fierce that no one can make a living wage a better solution than a smaller pool of drivers who can pay the rent?

Economic historians generally dismiss the Luddite movement by noting that the Industrial Revolution, while initially causing economic harm to skilled artisans, ended up lifting vast sectors of the world’s population out of abject poverty. The net result: more jobs and the rise of the middle class.

But there is growing concern that the current phase of technological progress is a different animal. The profits from new technological innovation are clearly not being distributed equally. This time around, it’s not clear at all that the base is broadening. Globalization and the digital revolution have us competing against each other and machines. It’s getting harder to make a living, not easier.

this idiot literally needs to take econ 101

There's a reason taxi drivers are usually dirt fucking poor immigrants. All this sharing economy bullshit is just that.

This is the REAL lib subtext regarding Uber:

Taxi cabs are highly regulated and all around shitty in most cities. Uber is unregulated and better in every regard, including price.

If they recognize the value of Uber, they are recognizing value in deregulation.

This article seems to purposely ignore the rather critical fact that 3 or 4 years ago, the taxi cab union had a "monopoly" everywhere, and a government-backed monopoly at that. And everyone hates taxis.

Basically, this whole thing just reads as a thinly veiled (or maybe not even veiled) gripe by a pro-unionist frustrated that its shitty unionized service industry is being pwn3d by a more efficiently run company that actually delivers quality service to customers.

the far left "thinkers" are pretty fucking furious about the uber exec trying to snoop on journalists writing negative stuff.

that was dumb of him, but it doesn't affect how i view the company

Uber drivers earn more than cabbies, FWIW.

it's hilarious to see the urbanite effete "liberals" (Box is an example) love Uber, while their natural allies, the left "thinkers" HATE Uber, it splinters the left and is pretty lulzy to see the fake liberal types think it's nbd and use it because it is convenient and at the end of the day that >>>>> their supposed values

I am pro-uber btw I just think it's a funny distinction
