I believe the alternative to driving Uber is serving at McDonald's, not becoming a homeless street urchin, so vivid imagery of this strawman notwithstanding, the argument for regulation isn't nearly as convincing.

Whether people work at McDonald's or Uber, or are homeless, everybody should be able to lead lives with dignity.

Sure, nobody said anything against that. How is that relevant to this discussion?
