Uber's been at war on several fronts for a while now, imo they were on a course for disaster already. I don't see how money managers in charge might help but if ever there were a time for hail marys for them, this is it. I doubt i

Charity is neither unique to capitalism nor a testament to it working. It's rather a monkey-patch fix to make it look more viable than it is - people think everything's fine as long as a few "heroes" donate.
