It's funny how all the "disruptive" startups have the same basic business model of taking money away from someone who was getting it before (generally local governments, but that cascades to many other people like medallion holders); giving some of that money to the customers and call it a discount, and keeping the rest of it for themselves.

Like can Facebook exist at its scale ... and not sell everyone's data or just behave as it does? Can gig economy companies exist without grabbing into tips / passing risk off onto delivery people? I don't know.
