You explained FAR better than I did what I meant to say: Once nationalized, ALL individual control is kaput.
Yes, I, too, absolutely, believe the drivers should be getting their 75 percent. They earned it! They also deserve health care. And saving for a pension!
But, whatever the originators of these two companies began with, as stellar community ideas, the amount of monies to be had overtook their good 'sense' and they took the US corporate rules of theft and ran with them.
Now, it is in the billionaires' best interest to keep government off these small potatos' backs. If the maggats get their way, all $s will be nationalized and all corporate entities, who once thought they had control of the purse strings, will lose that control to whoever runs the State.
But, yes, as things stand, currently, those drivers earned their wages under the original 'rules'. They, though, allowed this travesty to continue WAY past fixing time. Now the income, to the 'owners' is so great, it is worth it to them to 'organize' with the other corporate shills and continue out-and-out right steal from their employees.
We have watched this scenario play over and over, again, for decades--ie. staffing agencies, for one. They are being paid inCREDible amounts of money from companies for an hour's worth of a 'contractor's' time, skills, and wisdom, only to pay the contractor an 8th of that value. No difference.
In the end, organizing will mean nada if we don't get the Vote out. But, in three years, we start the treadmill going, all over, again. These people will not give up. They've been at this and honing their skills since--I was going to say, since the Civil War, but --The inception of this country.
Thank you, for correcting me for my lack of clarity. I'm a journalist and it is evident I have no business 'journalizing' when I'm tired. And, Thank GOD, we STILL live in a country where we can OPENLY correct each other, because that, too, is on the line.
This is America --Land of Opportunities. Does anyone think that these ride sharing companies are going to have good work ethics, when so much is at $take, the way our 'laws' currently stand? And, if il duce minus45 (djt) retakes the Oval Office, does anyone think that businesses will become more equitable? I don't think so. In fact, those businesses will be nationalized and the people will be right back where they started. It is better to be honest and productive now. You live by the cheat--you die by the cheat. And it works both ways--drivers thought they'd be getting 75% ride. The money made them incautious. And the whole thing got away from them.
