the article is frustratingly light on actual reasoning about why uber can't become profitable. the tl;dr is basically "it looks bad so they're going to fail". it does look very bad but that in itself (even with the various details mentioned) doesn't shine a light on the path that uber will take to failure. it only shows that any path they could take is treacherous.

it's an opinion piece with a bunch of facts thrown around but no reasoning to thread it together. i wouldn't bother putting any weight on it's conclusions (or wasting your time reading it, if you haven't).
