@carnage4life@mas.to That was Uber/Lyft's game plan from the start. Bleed VC money until you drive taxis out of business, walk away with the IPO money laughing all the way to the bank, then screw both the customers and the drivers.

Really, this wasn't rocket science. The game plan was obvious from the very start to everyone except the people who didn't want to see it. The "gig economy" is just another incremental refinement of exploitation.
