The news here reported that Uber drove more miles in 2016 than yellow cabs in NYC. Thats tough to comprehend due to the vast amount of yellow cabs on the streets. Mass transit ridership has dropped for the first time in several years. Streets are more congested due to the increase in vehicles.

The silver lining is that mass transit has to deal with market forces if they want to reverse the decline. That or NYC will just regulate ridesharing out of existence.

While I agree the CEO is probably a douche, our concern over the plight of yuppie drivers is ultimately going to ruin Uber.

It's extremely easy not to be an Uber driver anymore. And there are likely people who will fill those spots gladly, at least in large cities.

If a government's options are to either improve itself or regulate it's competition out of existence, which do you think it will choose?
