Seems more like a lot of whining about how hard it is these days for a small business to hire really low-paid, uninsured workers than anything to do with Uber. I'm inclined to think Uber won't go out of business if it is treated just like taxicab companies. After all, the selling point of Uber isn't low cost - if you can find a taxi it will usually be cheaper - it's superior service. Also, see the comment by Morgan D. Frank below the article.
