Fascinating to hear the Uber arguments. I've now heard "they charge restaurants too much and also they're using VC money to subsidize and gain market share."

How can they charge too much and too little at the same time???

Maybe it's just a normal business trying to succeed?
I don't get it. Do people want them to charge restaurants less and therefore subsidize even more?

Or charge consumers more and restaurants less and shift the subsidy?

Or raise prices everywhere?

I'm just lost as to why people complain so much about Uber.
I'm not defending Uber's business model (I'm not an investor) or saying it's the best business in the world.

Just seems like any other business that's struggling to make money.
Doesn't each restaurant still control its own prices?

If Uber charges too much, won't restaurants just raise prices?

How is this not just normal market behavior?
