So, I guess Hacker News is focused more on the tech than the political, but, still, I'm kinda taken aback by the comments here. The Uber "endgame" is a super-small fish in the bigger ocean called "neoliberalism". It's not just a tech issue, but technology does accelerate the issue. It's a very deep concept, and fairly complex. It includes related disciplines such as Neoliberal Jurisprudence. Before anyone goes all "you don't know what you're talking about" on me, I concede I'm no expert. It's a very deep concept, after all. My exposure to the issue is largely via my wife and others in her cohort, studying at one of the US's top political theory grad programs. They are heavily studying/working on neoliberalism, taking it very seriously. It's worth educating one's self about it. Both in general, and as an IT/Tech professional. It's already a thing, most people just aren't aware of it yet. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1468-2427.2011.01019.x/abstract http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1468-2427.2011.... http://inthesetimes.com/article/17533/how_to_sell_off_a_city http://inthesetimes.com/article/17533/how_to_sell_off_a_city http://www.popmatters.com/column/194010-neoliberalism-is-changing-our-world-without-our-even-noticing/ http://www.popmatters.com/column/194010-neoliberalism-is-cha...
