The gig economy gets a lot of hate, but it is successful because it is better than the alternative for both sides.
Uber competes with McDonald's for workers, but no one really thinks about whether workers are better off than at McDonald's.
With the fight for 15 and other minimum wage increases, many people argue that increasing wages will not substantially effect demand for labor, but it's sort of hard to make the case in the taxi space since reduced price has clearly led to an explosion of demand.
