Uber isn't special. If they can't exist without exploiting workers then they shouldn't exist. The void will get filled by something better.

Then shouldn't you also be applauding the CEO for his decision? I hate to present this kind of gotcha, but I'm honestly confused on how to reconcile "Uber shouldn't exist in California" and "Uber shouldn't announce it's shutting down in California".

I don't personally have an opinion of the CEO but I think most people would have preferred preventing this situation, making it right, or shutting down in a way that doesn't leave users and drivers without much warning. Instead we see this posturing threat.

I was just pointing out that the market exists and there's money to be made. Something will fill the void if Uber leaves.
