@mentalguy @susie_c Uber drivers have an interest in a successful and growing Uber; they're not purely competitors.
@nimbusgo @mentalguy @susie_c Hm. It's possible that wage stickiness doesn't apply to independent contractors!

@wycats@mentalguy@susie_c isn't that the whole idea? They don't get paid as much if they don't drive as many people. -
@nimbusgo@mentalguy@susie_c Wage stickiness is just the empirical observation that prices stay higher despite supply/demand expectations -
@wycats Yes, there are all sorts of non fluidity in employment. However, Uber is striving to create a market that's as fluid as possible. -
@nimbusgo They're trying :) -
@wycats so why would you presume that uber doing better as a business (higher revenue / profit margin) is good for drivers? -
@nimbusgo For some drivers, it's enabling them to work at all, but you're right. The argument was about whether drivers hate each other. -
@nimbusgo Which was based on the correct assumption that drivers are competing with each other and Uber is trying to make it more direct. -
@nimbusgo I was questioning whether that leads directly to drivers, in fact, hating each other, but Twitter bandwidth is low.
