The driver didn't wait, I waited for them. Four cents is twice the cost of my brand loyalty.

I hope this starts a trend. If these greed-driven whoring corporations want to glom onto every penny they can, fuck 'em. I'm out.

What if there's no competing companies, but a monopoly (as is the dream of capitalists) or a cartel (a lesser dream)?

Let's not forget that these companies aren't really running on profits from customers. They're running on venture capital bro driven development. Uber lost money for 15 years.
