Progressives Should NEVER Use Uber Or Lyft: Part 2

Here, I continue the list I started last week, of reasons why people with progressive values should never support Uber or Lyft:

• Uber and Lyft are Anti-Labor

• Uber and Lyft are Bad for Cities

• Uber and Lyft are Anti-Democratic

• Uber and Lyft Exemplify the New Post-Truth Capitalism

• And Fortunately -- You Don't Need Them!

But that's just the start.
