I think what the article is also saying is that you need an imbalance for this new "model" to work. I agree that there is a slight net effect of wealth transfer but if the gap was smaller to begin with then there would be no need for the wealth transfer.
- dnautics 12y agoI'm not disputing that either. On the other hand, it's not only the rich that use Uber (and certainly not Lyft), so the OP's argument is a bit hyperbolic. There is this very interesting effect that DUIs have a disproportionately negative consequence the poorer you are; and the price point for both services is low enough that it makes using those services very attractive for people outside the top income bracket.
