They can find work elsewhere then?
- compycom 6y agoUnless you are entrepreneur with access to capital, I'm not sure how you can expect individuals to will a good employer into being if none is to be found. Using the government to create better conditions for the working class is a completely reasonable use of the political process.
- TeaDrunk 6y agoDidn't we already go through this line of reasoning during the industrial revolution? Didn't we already have our muckraking moments to show exactly why this line of reasoning is full of assumptions, totally devoid and dissociated from the actual reality of people's lives?
- kreutz 6y agoWhere do people go if Uber does not exist?
- TeaDrunk 6y agoYou literally just linked a craigslist job listing to show indeed that uber is just a choice and they can take great jobs elsewhere.
- tathougies 6y agoGiven that the industrial revolution in retrospect has clearly improved the lot of the entire world, comparing uber to the capitalists of the industrial revolution in attempt to castigate them is actually quite laughable.
- chillwaves 6y agoThose industrialist were doing a great job of putting children in factories!
- logicchains 6y agoBefore that, children (and their families) were doing backbreaking labour on farms. At least the factories paid better.
- chillwaves 6y agoYes, and they were also being exploited under feudal lords. I would hope we can make some kind of progress as a society beyond fuedal times.
