        And not-great drivers lose their jobs. While bad teachers get to waste or worse children's minds year after year.

        Btw, another great thing about Uber & Lyft is that outsiders (people who didn't use to be professional drivers) can enter market

        @Karoli Stupid comparison. Can bet many of the Trump faithful have never been in a taxi much less Uber.
