      Something I've been thinking about recently, that I thought would make an interesting year-end thread. What's a new product/service/business that American capitalism has produced in the the last few years that you see as an unambiguous net benefit?

      An example of an answer I would give years ago would be something like: early google search. That was a technology that solved an actual problem and really made my life better and felt like it made the world better, too.

      But I think the question has gotten harder to answer recently. Curious to hear what people think.

      Ride-sharing services have a pretty large benefit to consumers IMO.

          not exactly 'unambiguous net benefit', though

          Their business model is based on taking advantage of, and exploiting/underpaying unemployed people. 1000% flattens the 'benefit'.

          Sure, but totally unfair to the taxi industry. Ride-sharing services should not be exempt from taxi regulations.

          Yes! I pay thousands yearly for licenses for my cabs in each municipality we operate, drivers must be fingerprinted and go thru a yearly background check with the State Bureau of Investigation. While Uber has hundreds of randos in their own cars, no special licensing.

          until the driver gets in an accident, the passenger and people in the other car are injured, and no one is covered by the insurance

          Uber drivers are required to carry insurance. Accidents and collisions will still happen no matter who drives.

          Yes but not if it leads to self driving cars and all those drivers lose a way to make a living
