    Uber is just a taxi service where the company doesn’t have to follow the normal taxi regulations and safety, pays its drivers at a much worse rate, doesn’t have to pay anything for servicing vehicles or licensing drivers, and sells your travel data.

      And it specifically undercuts existing taxi unions, hollowing out those jobs and the decades of negotiatons that they won, while also increasing cost to users. Meanwhile, I know people who’ve lost money while working for uber and doordash.
