Free market doesn't mean that the government wouldn't be allowed to set basic standards which must be complied with.
When I read that the income for Uber drivers goes as low as 8 US$/hr after deductions/costs, I think regulations are not uncalled for.

- erikbye 10y agoThe very definition of a free market is a market free from government intervention. That's why what you have in the US, and most so-called capitalist states, have what is called a regulated market, not a free market. Another hallmark of a free market is that the market should rid itself of business that do not do well. In the US the governments bails out business that do not do well (like banks). Hence, Chomsky calls it a nanny state.
