Example, if Airbnb had the same fire regulations as hotels or paid the same tourism tax to city councils the price difference would likely dissapear.
If Uber had to garantee vehicle maintenance, mandatory driving breaks, insurance etc. The ride price difference would likely get eaten away.
This is not about fairness it's about rule of law. You either accept that regulations and taxes exist for a reason and they therefore carry an upfront cost for anyone doing business. Or you accept that everything should be deregulated to avoid non-competitive business from bypassing those that are forking regulatory costs.
Regulate for everyone or regulate for no one but you can't have it both ways.
I feel like government needs to solve this. Maybe UBI?
The ones who leach off the vulnerable and pay less than minimum wage after realistic considerations need kicking out of society.
the value they provide is great to both workers and investors. immense to clients.
