It's literally financially untenable to have more costs for employees than the revenue they bring in. This is basic math and no amount of "I don't buy this" is going to change that reality.

And the part I don't buy is that this is the case. I don't buy that Uber can't afford to treat their employees like people, and if they actually can't, then they need to go out of business so companies that can are able to grow.
