    Um. Okay.

    Im really confused why you are focusing on that part of it. It doesnt need to be unethical, its just profitable and lacks a lot of oversight.

    But even if you want to nitpick, uber is still better than the system it has disrupted. Do you to derail this to go on an adventure in the moral and ethical bankruptcy that is the taxi industry???

      I feel like a lot of cab companies had more qualified drivers who earned better wages and benefits before Uber reduced their market share.

        Well i live in vancouver and it took a bunch of time for uber to be allowed here which may account for that. I personally know a few people who moved from cabs to uber here. They are people i also work with. But again this is way off topic.

        Its the tech that uber/lyft/doordash/skipthedishes etc use that is what i brought it up for.

        How ethically it is used is a very different story and discussion so im done with this
