Oh no! Businesses whose ‘innovation’ is doing end runs around labour law, leaving? How sad.

The “labor laws” you reference only exist to give taxi companies monopolies and provide worse experiences for everyone involved

You mean exist to ensure the underpaid actually get the legal minimum wage and to stop exploitive rich people from exploiting poor people?

Uber drivers don’t make less money than taxi drivers. On average, they make about the same.

Uhh, Uber drivers are definitely poor… It’s just that taxi drivers are also poor…

Plus, those figures are just averages. Did they take the median or the mean? Are the taxi drivers numbers more of a bell curve with everyone making similar amounts while the Uber drivers are either doing well or not doing well at all? My total guess based on no data whatsoever is yes but I’d be interested in seeing the data if you have it. MLMs use this same trick when they try to convince you their businesses are viable

It’s weird that you think someone making more than almost 40% of the country is “poor”

Yup. Alot of poor people in this country… It’s been getting worse.

Too bad you don’t know how those averages were calculated. Would have been interesting

A) it’s fun how I can tell you’re from a wealthy family

B) all averages are calculated the same way. That’s what “average” means.

People are so poor nowadays that saying somebody’s from a wealthy family has become an insult.

No it’s just calling out the “rich progressive savior” mindset, and it’s always been derogatory.

It’s sure neat how when centrists can no longer defend exploitative labor practices, they attack the person they’re talking to. Usually it’s with “You don’t understand how anything works” or “I assume you’re young and therefore wrong.” “I assume you have money and are therefore wrong” is a new one.
