> If Uber et.al. were really smart,... and the decreased supply will increase surge pricing.
I like how you indirectly criticize Uber for not being particularly smart and then you assert that, while ignoring other effects, decreased supply => increased surge prices is a strictly good thing. While, in the absolute simplest terms, this clearly decreases supply (by your own admission) and therefore decrease # of trips by an amount that is obviously both unknown AND inestimable by you so it's NOT clearly beneficial to Uber. They, also, MIGHT know better than you whether or not it may be beneficial to them.
Temporary loss for long term gain, combined with unconventional politics actually is the cornerstone of Uber’s business strategy.
AB 5 is a symptom of the underlying problem that 3000 bills were considered in the Capitol last session. Not even the combined army of staffers of all representatives could think carefully about all that. Insanity Leaders driving this madness like Gonzalez-Fletcher need to be ousted. And that’s the point of my idea.
