I don't think it will work out that way. If Uber dumps them cold they'll have no money to retrain. Also I doubt taxi driver stays taxi driver because of all al

  What were these drivers doing before Uber? Let's not pretend that any job is an ok job. These jobs are not ok for humans and with a basic income, these people can contribute in better more creatives ways. My best friends mom was a cleaner for the Hilton for 20+ years. Sure it was a job, but there was nothing meaningful about it.

    I am not sure what you are trying to get at. The people who are drivers are drivers for many different reasons some of the are quite well educated and I don't think you can conclude what you seem to conclude. Technology killing jobs is a real problem, technology killing jobs in an increasingly faster and faster pace is an even bigger problem as it doesn't allow people to re-educate themselves. It's a much much much bigger problem than you seem to imply.
