They seem to be? You stated that they make billions but somehow are failing in the same post. Wondering how that works?

Just basics to understand for clueless. A business will try to have more debt than profit on the books that way it doesn't get taxed. As long as it's good or serviceable debt that's how the system is designed to be played. It forces you to borrow and if you don't it taxes you. You expect businesses to provide you with good wages, good products or services yet demand shit for free or super cheap. Can't have it both ways. You want higher wages sure add an extra $5 on your latte.

Not me, because I don't work in food delivery.

I could buy a million hotdogs and sell them at a 10 cent loss. My revenue would look great and I'd be bleeding money. That just about sums up Ubers situation.

Uber provides these individuals the opportunity to make extra money on the side in their spare time. Without Uber, they'd be earning nothing. If you want to establish basic rules around employment, that's fine. Establishing a $17 minimum wage for food delivery will crater the demand for food delivery. I certainly won't pay for it. As a result, most of these individuals who earn extra money now, money that supports their families, will not earn it in the future. That's the reality of what you're promoting. So what's the benefit? I assume you've done the cost benefit analysis or you wouldn't be pushing for regulatory changes that impact peoples lives.

He hasn't. Can't expect people like that to understand how the economy and business works. They need a simple slogan to put on their sign before going out to their protests.
99% of them don't run a business with multiple employees. It's hard to convey a simple message if you increase operating costs the products and services go up in price also. When cost of rent and food increases they complain. Then they go on strikes and wave their signs demanding increase in pay in endless loop.

The Australian market doesn't seem much different than the US. Many Uber drivers can make a decent hourly wage, especially during peak hours. But the prices are set strictly by supply and demand.

The NYC law will mandate either 30 cents per minute logged on to the app (Uber pays per trip currently, you earn nothing waiting for a delivery) or 50 cents per minute on trip.

Uber doesn't make money (including AU), so these costs will be passed on to customers either as higher fees or to restaurants in the form of higher service charges. Customers will likely respond to higher charges by tipping less. I can certainly relate to all 3.

Uber does make money, you are falling for the nonsense they use to pay no tax.

No, I mean that Uber has never reported a net annual profit to their shareholders. By definition they are not a profitable business.

And yet they are expanding all around the world and are a multiple billion dollar entity.

$30billion+ in financing is a hell of a drug.
