Isn't that always the case? You are just treated worse when you have less money.

How's one perceived if high earner hires professional help to take advantage of every loop hole in the system and how's one perceived if they take advantage of a loop hole in the system with say food stamps. Neither is breaking the law.

It’s not about having less money. If I’m going into town from the burbs, I have the money to pay Uber and I’m willing to pay more for one. But there are not that many people in the burbs that need to use ridesharing.

I might be poorer in the inner city. But my rides are going to be a shorter distance and there are more people.
