There are very real costs associated with ridesharing. Many states require specific insurance coverage; for example, in Texas that's an increased cost of 15-30%. Your car will depreciate faster with miles; I ballparked it at around $2000/year. I also ballpark an additional $500 or so year for increased standard maintenance costs. Someone may still come out ahead of course, and this will vary based on how much someone does it, but these costs are very real, regardless of whether you are on the left or the right.
