Uber cheerleader "Uberman" quits(?) over fare reductions, including Detroit's 30 cents per mile

2. From a selfish perspective, this is good news

The service quality in Detroit has been dropping. I've been getting former Uber customers who have been complaining about lower quality cars and drivers. They've lowered their car requirements from 2007 and later to 2000 and later. Surges have been getting more frequent, and they've been non-existent in some prosperous, but more distant and sparse areas. This will end up cutting their service quality even more.

From a less selfish perspective, I am seeing people getting burned badly. They are taking massive financial risks from gasoline and wear and tear to tickets and possibly being uncovered by insurance in case of an accident. The service they provide - transporting human beings safely from point to point - is necessary to a kind and civilized society.

But Uber keeps lowering their earnings potential to the point that the drivers are now paying Uber for the privilege of driving their passengers. This is wrong.
