I'm really sick of everyone pretending that these big, bad tech companies came along and screwed over workers, as if it's some novel revelation. Countless other industries have been doing far worse for far longer with far greater ramifications - and they still are today. Uber is merely continuing a great American tradition. If we don't like it, blame the politicians who refuse to regulate them and other industries that take advantage of workers. Or continue waving a fist at big companies as if they care.
- NoGravitas 4y agoWell, the issue is that companies like Uber and AirBNB used the fig leaf of being a "tech company" to evade the existing regulations on their respective existing industries. Of course we should blame the politicians who let them get away with it, as well as the companies lobbying for it.
