In this respect it is the perfect poster-boy for Free Market Capitalism
Unrestricted free market capitalism is all about these things and Uber is a great exemplar of all the tawdry awfulness that late capitalism gifts us with.
"This is what capitalism is," it tells us, "this is what capitalists want." If we want something other than the most oppressive race to the bottom of the worst available barrel and then through it into the fatberg-limned sewers then maybe we need a better model for our society than this one. That is what Uber is trying to tell us.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
