Just to spell out the obvious rejoinder: removing the option for Uber to exploit them forces Uber to pay fairly for the labor that it needs, which helps them by creating much better jobs in a line of work they are qualified for. Rinse and repeat for gig economy companies of various sorts.
- gjs278 6y agoretard detected. these companies are already losing money. you are proposing they pay more? they won’t even exist.
- Mirioron 6y agoThey are already paying them fairly. People willingly choose to drive for Uber over other things they could do. If you force Uber to party significantly more then they simply stop doing business. You can have your corrupt taxis back. It really grinds my gears when people use the terms "pay someone fairly", "stop exploiting them", and "pay them a living wage". These are all terms that on face value seem reasonable - pay someone enough that they can live off of it, but for some reason it's never enough. $34,000 a year puts you in the global top 1% by income. Apparently that's still not enough for many people in the US.
