Until now you could make a decent living driving a cab, and all the cab drivers were skilled and professional and trustworthy. If you forgot your wallet in the cab you could be sure to pick it up at the lost and found.
It just isn't possible to operate a quality servicde with uber's model and prices.
You will have unskilled labour for less than minimum wages, ie. they won't be able to afford to buy a home for themselves driving for uber.
This is key from the article: "Implicit in his testament was the anger he felt over the de-professionalization of his life’s work"
Somebody here compared this to elevator operators. Come on, what a silly comparison. Driving optimally in a city and finding your way and not crashing is actually a job that takes skill and practice.
