These companies seem great to me. Far better than what preceded them anyway. I'm skeptical that they're "rent-seeking" in any meaningful way, or that unions will meaingfully improve the situation.

I suggest reading into rideshare wages some. https://inequality.org/article/exposing-the-rideshare-indust...

		I don't find this convincing. It doesn't seem to me that ride share drivers should be paid while idling or repositioning. Nor am I in favor of California forcing a minimum wage on ride share drivers. In general, I don't understand how this qualifies as "rent seeking". I think a lot of people just don't like big tech companies. They're entitled to their opinions but I think they're wrong.

Less "rent seeking", more "your business model only makes sense without investors attached."
