The goal of every company is to do shenanigans at the top while profiting off an underclass of laborers at the bottom. The more shenanigans they can do to squeeze the underclass harder, the better. Uber et al are genuine innovators in automating labor law violations to maximize that squeeze. Looks like they're expanding from chauffeurs to every other kind of household servant. Awesome. This will be very cool and fine.
