pubquizJust cancelled my Uber account. Over $0.04 in "waiting charge".
Greed driven is how capitalism works. They are doing it the way the system is set up to function. This system can be changed and should be changed!
iktGreed driven is how capitalism works
I think it works using market forces, as in when someone doesn’t like how they are treated, they cancel their uber account, this means people like the OP can sign up with a competing company and give them his money, thus strengthening the economic power that customers should be treated well in order for the business to survive
this is the opposite of communism, where you are forced to use the governments uber service and when you are treated like shit you treat this as normal expected behaviour because you have no other choice in the matter
What if there’s no competing companies, but a monopoly (as is the dream of capitalists) or a cartel (a lesser dream)?
Let’s not forget that these companies aren’t really running on profits from customers. They’re running on venture capital bro driven development. Uber lost money for 15 years.
