Lol tyranny of the majority keeps Uber cheap? You know drivers can just stop working if they don't like the wage right?

  I've lived long enough to quickly suss out humans with a lack of empathy and life experience. The life experience I can forgive, the lack of empathy I cannot. I hope you embrace the opportunity to grow as a human.

    The essence of democracy is majority rule... Anyway, you are missing some empathy with other humans right to choose where and how they work.

      I get a sense you haven't experienced enough suffering for the conclusion you're arriving at. It is easy to project onto others that "they should be able to choose to work for a pittance if they want", when they don't want but have no other options. I'd argue, in a developed country with aspirations of being a civil society, you set a solid floor for those with the least power instead of making excuses that "this is their choice." But, as you mention, we all vote and see how it goes.

      > The essence of democracy is majority rule. Which is why there aren't many large-scale pure direct democracies out there. Most governments are set up to have at least some checks and balances to protect minority components from majority rule.

      The essence of democracy is balancing minority rights against majority wishes.

    You didn’t answer their question. You just have a paternalistic “do better” response.
