> I worry that you (and me, and others) have bought in to the "flexibility" bullshit that Uber often spouts.

For as long as I have been taking Uber (which is ~5 years), I almost always make small talk with the driver. In almost every single case, they have mentioned the flexibility as a key factor as to why they drive for Uber (and yes, they also do complain about falling incomes as time has gone by).

I don’t personally care for Uber, but I’ve used it enough for the convenience and heard the same story. For what it’s worth, I don’t think OP has much depth on this or probably has even used the service much at all.

Some folks pick their social justice topic and blow it up 100x. Anyone who disagrees is a monster.
