Am I the only one that think's it's weird that Uber's Chief Economist is posting on their official Medium account with an article that sources data from a blogger to refute the MIT study? Like this guy has way more information at his fingertips, so I think it's a little suspicious that they aren't using their own internal data to make a public statement.

To be fair to him, the worst move he could make is put an official figure out there.

Wait, Uber could figure out how much their drivers make, then apply standard rates for depreciation and a good local gas estimate to figure out profits? What magic could they use to do that???
