> Uber and Lyft can't just keeping banking on their VC benefactors forever. The other accusation I've heard, relevant to the discussion at hand, is that they're (also) banking on shifting the costs of externalities onto the drivers and/or the social safety net. > Eventually they have to turn a profit. Or go out of business, which could be considered beneficial if they're banking more on the externalities than VCs.
