Do they think that NYC can force Uber and Lyft (and others) to hire all of these people and pay a certain amount? Why wouldn’t these companies scale back their NYC operations in other ways in response to this?

- s1artibartfast 2y agoThey already were scaling back, and this is what caused the protests. The city said that uber had to pay drivers hourly, and uber said, "OK, then we wont let drivers log in unless there is sufficient demand" This is an entirely predictable response.
