My favorite bit from the video: the tweet that says "I'm an MBA and get supply/demand. 7.5x is well beyond demand. Holiday pay is 1.5x not 7.5! #pricegouging"

What an idiot. I'm sure his business professors facepalmed when they saw this.

If it wasn't a fair price, she wouldn't have agreed to it. Either she doesn't understand supply/demand or she hopes that there are enough people who don't that will give her money for rent.

She could have walked, found a taxi, took public transit, or drove. No one forced her to use Uber.
