"Perverse incentives" is a term, not a negation of the word incentives.
If you'd like me to criticize the alcohol and nightlife industry I could do that as well, but I was discussing Uber, as that is what the link discussed.
You've just described the multibillion dollar industry "giving away free samples, and over serving people" and then claimed that the responsibility falls solely on the drinker. You're all over the place copsarebastards.
- copsarebastards 11y agoThere's no way to make assertions about the effects of Uber on alcohol consumption because any effect Uber might have is negligible comparison with the effects of the alcohol and nightlife industries. I'm not saying you should criticize those industries, I'm saying that if you're going to blame someone other than the drinker for the innocuous crime of drinking one more drink than usual, it's ridiculous to target Uber. I talked about the alcohol and nightlife industries as a criticism of your statements. Alcohol consumption being the responsibility of the drinker is a statement of my own belief. If you can't understand why these ideas are not contradictory I can't help you.
