Drivers are not a "business". They are laborers for Uber, which is the business.

I mean, yeah, I'd love to liver in that world. Unfortunately, Uber has campaigned widely that their drivers are, in fact, independent contractors and not employees.

The drivers should be employees, imo, but the way the company is structured today, they are not.

That's how it should be, that is not how it is.
