21st century capitalism: gaming the system rather than actual productivity improvements that make lives better.

Ok, you can fault Uber for TONs of things. Moral, financial, ethical, political, legal, but one thing they did indeed do is provide "actual productivity improvements that make lives better".

I am an Uber/Lyft user and my life has been drastically improved!

Speak for yourself. Uber has for me been a service superior to what taxi companies offer in literally every way possible.

Of course they are, they have less overheads because they game the system.
