The market is to a large extent set by those at the top of it--who unsurprisingly decide that they are worth the most, and pay themselves billions of dollars.

It's true that nobody is forcing you to work for Uber. You can always go to one of the other companies inside the same system with the same incentives that cause them to treat their workers in the same way.
- dymk 7y agoThe market is certainly not set by the “people on top” and this weird FUDy argument about some elite ruling class only hurts peoples ability to find better paying careers (a gig economy job is not a career)
- kerkeslager 7y agoLet me guess, you think that free markets are naturally stable and fairly competitive, instead of naturally devolving into monopolies where the rich use buyouts, advertising, and bribery/lobbying to make the free market unfree and pull the ladder up behind them.
