Corporations aren't entitled to liberty. Uber isn't a person, it's a hivemind - if it has to cut off one drone, it doesn't affect the hive. Except drivers aren't drones who can simply accept being liquidated for the good of the hive. Allowing that behavior is anti-liberty - the liquidated driver has had their means of providing for their own liberty revoked by an entity that is private, arbitrary and capricious.
- kelnos 3y agoI think the GP was talking about liberty with regard to the worker, that they are free to take (or refuse) any jobs they want. Of course, the inherent power imbalance between an employer and a worker is what allows for exploitation, when not otherwise protected by law.
