Uber defined as a "ploy by the finance industry to profit off the destruction of unionized companies and public transit" sounds just about right.https://twitter.com/PostCultRev/status/949719890021171200 …
Until recently, the sole middleman were very profitable taxi companies, which rent out licenses at horrendous prices. Where I live, cab drivers tended to be unpleasant, refuse to take cards, often avoid direct routes, or even don’t know their way.

As with everything, there is good and bad in Uber (& this model of biz). They have innovated & do serve some market demand - not denying that. Yet, their value system, operations style and ownership structure is destructive and not inline with community interest in my opinion.

I think we have already established that capitalism is not in line with community interests, but it works better than all alternatives that have been tried so far. :)
