Uber is a bezzle ("the magic interval when a confidence trickster knows he has the money he has appropriated but the victim does not yet understand that he has lost it"). Every bezzle ends.Uber's time is up.1/ pic.twitter.com/UkqGXvC744— Cory Doctorow (@doctorow) August 10, 2021
Even if Uber does collapse, they're pushing and funding Prop 22 like legislation in other states now. With so much of the economy seemingly made up of gig workers now, I'm sure Amazon and the likes are more than welcome that Uber is doing the dirty work and taking the hits.
After all, who really gets screwed in the end? Uber's only real costs are at the backend with devs and such, who I'm sure will be fine if the company goes insolvent. The investors from the beginning will have made out by now. The ghouls at the top of the company will get their severance packages and pats on the back, before moving on to another silicon valley VC scam

This is gonna be Uber's biggest contribution. Along with pushing back the conversation on sustainable public transit by at least a decade.
And they let the bad PR attach to the Uber brand that they intend to kill off. You hate to see it.
