I happen to hate capitalism, but we need to pick the right target. Uber is crony corporatism and technical totalitarianism, quite unlike the imaginary concepts of theoretical capitalism.

Two dimensional characters who are uniformly ugly and buffoonish - so that the reader instantly knows the bad guys.
