Call it "ego debt". People, especially upper-class white people, love to give you a pass on being horrible if they think it'll pay off

Bc people believed it would 1) all pay off in the long run, 2) once it did pay off, the "growing pains" would cease and Uber would act right

I think what we really need to retire is the term "growing pains" and its ilk. Sick systems don't automatically transform into healthy ones

And ppl who keep running up a huge tab in terms of debt in goodwill/decency/trust need to be treated the same as if it were financial debt

I really want to rub it in ppl's faces - the press has no sympathy for Uber rn bc Uber told the press to all fuck off two years ago

They told the press to fuck off, they told the govt to fuck off, they even said it to their own customers and contractors, now they're alone
