i feel like people who criticize uber/lyft must not talk to their drivers. i find majority would be worse off in traditional job market.

there are consequences to "worker protection" that may (or may not) reflect what most drivers want. tread careful.

do you trust Uber and Uber alone to make that decisions for them or do you want a balance of forces?

maybe. uber does follow the market, which can be better for nontraditional worker needs than a well-intentioned bureacrat

uber does not follow a market. Controls prices per mile, sets share. Airbnb allows hosts to set own prices. Markets not uniform

uber responds to consumer demand and lyft. thats the market. & it gives many people work who (desperately) need flexibility

sure and so do other service businesses. Doesn't mean you don't need tools around safety, insurance, minimum wage.
