Well this sums up the progressive mentality extraordinarily well.
"I don't really have a personal connection to this thing, pay much attention to it, wouldn't really care if it went away, but by God we need to set this rule I want to make it work exactly how I say it should. No, I haven't really studied it, I'm not going to rely on any data or "facts" or any of that nonsense, I'll only argue from first principles in a vague, hand wavy way. And I am not going to acknowledge any complexity the world, this is black and white and it will work exactly the simple way I say."
And then by the time it's clear what the result of this decision was, you've already forgotten about it because, like you said, you don't even really care that much if these companies stay or go, and by extension if these drivers can keep driving to earn money or not.
