    The bit about work paying for uber and how it would be pricey if they didn’t when the DC Metro is right fucking there seems like bait? Idk.

    I mean they're a company dedicated to privatizing everything so the idea of using something funded with tax dollars is totally alien, if not anathema to them.

      Yeah but they also worship at the altar of cost efficiency.

        Nahh I feel like that's just their kayfabe. "The market is more efficient" seems to be their justification rather than an actual belief, IMO.

          I'm not able to find it, but I swear I remember hearing economists and consultants when asked about the 2008 collapse saying "well, everything we did led to this but it was still the right thing to do."
