This is a pretty absurd argument to make when the alternative is quite literally these jobs not existing at all as almost just happened at midnight tonight.

Uber and Lyft shutting down is posturing. I find it quite hard to believe taxi services will become impossible and not simply a bit more expensive.

Healthcare should be provided as a human right but this is not accomplishing that.

This jobs will exist one way or the other. If uber is out taxis(or some other third party) will pick up the slack.
