- muaytimbo 4y agoI'm not really sure I agree Uber was "built" by cab drivers, but for the sake of argument, sure, but what's the alternative? The subway has way more crime.
- worik 4y agoWe live in a culture saturated with rape. In which "justifying rape" is only recently (I am getting old. Last decades) gone out of fashion. Some call it a "rape culture", with some justification. Uber is a part of that culture, and it is an open question just where on the spectrum of "angelic operator" to "dangerous predation" they lie. But the claim: "cheap transportation is partially built on the backs of hundreds of rape cases" is only true because of "partially". I think it is a weak claim.
