I wonder if Uber will just leave, like they did in Austin. Its hard to imagine the impact this would have, uber has a huge presence in seattle. I would imagine this would be political suicide for the council, certainly the impact it would have on my life would turn me into a full time shill for whoever opposes it politically
- adrienne 10y agoSo you're totally fine with workers getting exploited as long as your life is fine? Good to know!
- brightball 10y agoUnless I'm missing something...is Uber forcing people to drive for them? If not...how exactly is Uber exploiting them?
- bruceb 10y agoseems unlikely having Uber leave town would have a great impact on a councilperson's reelection prospects.
- pm24601 10y ago:-) In my experience with local politics, Uber driver-status has little weight in elections. Now on the other hand, favoring of building a highrise apartment building next to "my" house -- that can lead to an election loss. (where "my" is some very effective local resident)
