I find it hard to blame Uber for doing something that companies have done for hundreds of years in the US. So what if it's 2018 and a venture capital backed tech company is at the center of it this time? Unions don't prevent new competition, otherwise they'd be rather unethical themselves..one (with a capitalist mindset) might argue. This is capitalism and if it's too emotionally painful to watch disruption unfold then as a society we need to find a different mode of operation. Why get distracted by the players when the game is the problem? I've been largely okay with capitalism I guess because I've benefitted from it. But human lives have decreased in value. In a society where making $500, literally, is more valuable than a human life, we'll choose the money every time. That's the game. Of course I have no idea what to do, in the face of this almost existential crisis, but getting mad a Uber for disrupting an industry is wasted effort.
