Minimum wages and universal basic income

Uber wants to expand it, because it makes it easier for them to pay people less.

People want to expand it because some people, and I don't think this is uncommon at all--let me be blunt, I see this in this thread right now--want to feel in control of other people.

I mean, that's pretty rational on Uber's part, but they pushed back on it for a surprisingly long time before giving in.

The desire for control is another documented reason that people like tipping, yes.

Yeah. I was surprised about that from Uber. I wondered if it might have been a long play for their self driving car strategy. I don't credit that company with an abundance of concern for social issues.
