- logfromblammo 9y agoRight. Those Uber ads are rather tone-deaf to fears of downward class mobility. They try to paint the company as helping middle-class people earn extra money to buy the things they want, when in actuality the majority of rides are driven by lower-class people that are trying to earn their living as drivers. One person's second job may be another's primary source of income.
