If regulatory capture weren't a big enough issue, how about some nice, manufactured astroturfing and mental gymnastic rationalizations to cheat employees? Hurray for "disruptive" startups that can buy laws with saturating media with half-truths. Let's not forget Lyft and Uber's business model is to socialize the costs of a taxi business, including vehicle acquisition, maintenance, and deprecation onto the drivers. How is that anything other than stealing from what would otherwise be taxi drivers with economic slavery volunteerism?

PS: Hello from Colorado so far. Bye CA, thanks for all of the earthquakes, fires, and power outages.
