Companies like Uber and AirBnb have put a spotlight on the cost of old and sometimes outdated information and are driving changes that were not going to come from within the system. In some cases we end up with a better end state, in others we are forced to weigh all the pros and cons and we rejig our current model.
- redblacktree 11y agoI think the end game here is better regulation for companies like Uber. Not to defend taxi companies, (i.e. not protectionism) but we need at least some of those rules to apply, such as background checks for drivers. There is also the question of whether drivers are employees or not. (and thus due greater benefits) To my mind, Uber is unquestionably a good disruption; I'm glad its happening. I hope that the "end state" won't be the status quo of today, however.
