Drivers are defacto employees, integral to the business of Uber, but are treated as independent contractors, which shafts the tax burden to uber drivers.
That is the same for all taxi companies! All taxi drivers are contractors, not employees.
How? It is not like employees don't pay taxes.
Society doesn't have an interest in assuring a predictable supply of anything?
This is two separate points. The one about dumping / running at a loss to remove competition makes sense.
But the one about taxi medallions and a "livable wage"? Yeah, that one's bullshit. Limiting supply (of anything!) to jack up prices is not a good-for-society practice.
