Uber's true mission is a charitable effort by SV capitalists to subsidize the cost of taxi rides. Of course they're not meant to make money. How silly to think so!

It’s actually charity by SoftBank and Saudi Arabia at this point, but yes, this is what it actually seems to be.

Amazon is also an investor charity to give us all one day shipping since the investors show no sign of wanting profit margins above 1%.
