How are they 'ethically bankrupt'?
- michaelt 11y agoIf you look at their wikipedia page, the section 'criticism' [1] lists a variety of issues. You'd expect criticism from incumbent taxi companies, and perhaps you also expect sketchy labor practices, and a few fatal accidents and rapes. But the problems also include user privacy issues, threats to journalists, and attempts to sabotage their competitors.

- dylanjermiah 11y agoThey've done some moronic things, yes. But 'ethically bankrupt' is a big stretch. All in all, Uber has created 50bn of market value. They've done that by making drivers and riders lives better than it was before.
- notNow 11y agoSaying "Is Uber morally bankrupt?" is just the same as saying "Is the Pope Catholic?" by now.
