If the Uber drivers had any better alternative, wouldn't they do that instead? Isn't the worst part for workers rights that they don't have a better alternative? But I don't see how that's Uber's fault, they're clearly providing what many people feel is a useful source of money (they reportedly have over 1 million drivers). > the u.s. appears to be in a race to the bottom, with people competing to lower their own wages. It sounds like you're blaming Uber for a poor US job market. That seems unfair. Wouldn't it be better to point the blame at literally every other company who is not providing as good of opportunities? Why point the finger at what appears to be one of the best options for lots of people? I'm sure they could improve the situation, but I'm not sure I understand why they'd be singled out (given what I've seen they'd be one of the last I'd point at). We can lament the fact that there aren't lots of opportunities for lots of people, but I guess I just don't see how it's Uber's fault that they happen to provide one of the most compelling options.
