dog what

dude there are like... other rideshare apps

and taxis still exist

and Minneapolis has an effective (for America) transit system

there are so many options in place before breaking the law

and if paying a living wage is not possible for Uber or Lyft, maybe they shouldn't be in business

Honestly exactly this, if a business is impossible to exist without exploitation then it straight up shouldn't exist, and if that means our economy can't exist, it needs to be rethought so goods and services exist to be goods and services, and not a money making scam.
