Oh please. Your average Lyft/Uber consumer has no clue about and no interest in what the labor-vs-capital cost breakdown is of ANY product they buy. It's really stretching the facts beyond all comprehension to say that calling it a price cut is a "euphemism": the people they're talking to with those messages only interact with the price and it's a price cut. No euphemisms involved.
Complaints about whether the wages for their drivers are too low are completely fair game, but intellectual dishonesty and nonsense about how they use "euphemisms" to hide wage cuts is just Grade-A bullshit.
