Why are they idiots? If it’s their best opportunity then they would be idiots to not take it.

I don’t think people doing the Uber bashing here understand what it’s like to be poor and that service like Uber are actually a good thing.

What if it's their only opportunity? A lot of people aren't doing this because they think it's a fantastic opportunity, they're doing it because it's one of very few ways they can make a living.

You're telling me that with a phone, a car, and the ability to speak english, that driving cars around is the only opportunity possible?

I don't know, I was requesting clarification for the line "people will exploit themselves".

No, we're bashing Uber for exploiting that relationship.
