Assuming that your narrative is factual, is it Uber's obligation to subsidize the government's infrastructure failings?

  (Not the parent poster.) I believe this question needs to be answered first: is society obligated to subsidize Uber? I believe the answer is "no". Uber is not owed any profit. A life-sustaining income does not have to be in the form of food stamps. A law prescribing life-sustaining wages is a government's infrastructure.

    Uber doesn't owe society its existence or jobs either. If they shut down, who's paying the life-sustaining wages?

      Didn't society exist before Uber? I'm not sure. Also, did Uber build the roads, bridges, parking lots? Did it research the internet? I also heard GPS was researched in a secret Uber lab...

    They aren't obligated to subsidize Uber. However, they are within their right to set their own prices.
