Naval gazing about what a subset of a subset of people are like, while most of us on HN are mostly still in the global 1% (through nothing more than a birth lottery) doesn't really help anyone and is downright unproductive.

The Uber apologists on here really boggle my mind. Other competitors seem to do it fine such as Free Now, which operates in multiple cities and I don't even know where their offices are located because they don't need these super
