> So the real question will be: should we as a society welcome disruptive changes that upset our old models or should we use the old regulations to stymie them?

Well that's a hilariously unbiased way of framing it.

It's like you're trying to say that something obviously good may have a downside. The important point is that Uber and its drivers are partners in a mutually beneficial relationship. If everybody starts contracting out services from each other, and we're all in business together, then nobody will be sitting on top of a pyramid supported by the state. How can that possibly go wrong?
