Uber is the result of imperialist hyper accumulation. Faced with rates of profit near zero and huge gluts of cash, the only way forward is to seize and distort new internal markets. Uber is industrial siege warfare with an unlimited budget. https://twitter.com/dubsteppenwolf/status/1175292147689578496

They arent children. They have all the cards. They can take huge losses for as long as it takes to crush and starve out taxis, public transportation and ferries.

They have to seize every facet of daily life, in order to rent it to us to continue their ideology of supernatural growth.

The world does not grow exponentially, and capital demands exponential growth. Thus capitalism is pressurized into every crack of our lives.

The goal is to create a permanent rental class. Temp workers who rent their work tools from the boss' other LLC run by his cousin, who pay a person driving a rented car to drive them to said temp job.

Corporate sharecropping.

We will rent our homes and the furniture and appliances. The games we play will be rented.

We will monetize every social activity so that some dickhead somewhere gets paid when you dogsit for your neighbor or when you cheat on your wife.

All of life will be tracked, collated, sold and then measured against growth models and then, like a giant skinner box, we will be constantly goaded and prodded into conforming to the metrics determined by a server blade in Manhattan.

There is nothing new to be exploited.

Now they must put all of life on a free-to-play but subscribe-to-survive model.

With DLC!
