| Uber, Uber and Vlad Uber |
In the US socialists don't say anything bad about Uber. In fact, they love it. They see how much money they can save riding to their jobs at universities and government. So maybe we should not tell them that Uber is most likely the greatest small business (so many possible new Republicans - just give them time) creation program ever. 1 million small business owners/drivers around the world.
Apparently some lefties in the UK are more confused than ever. They love Uber but they also love taxis. One of them tries to pull them away from the 'dark side'.
Imagine that a left-wing union activist from Glasgow dreamed up an idea for a workers' ride-sharing cooperative. In this thought experiment, let's give this business a liberal-friendly name, "PeopleCar."The socialist case for Uber
PeopleCar would not only help low-income folks get lifts to work cheaper, but it would be structured as a wealth-sharing collective in which 75% of the money made by the business would go directly to the workers running it. And it would be environmentally friendly because it reduces the number of cars on the road, reduces the demand for new cars, and the company would encourage its staff to use electric or hybrid vehicles.
