I worked at Uber corporate for a year and this is how I kind of see things too. The medallion system is ridiculous when you dig into it, the taxi lobbies are toxic and anti-capitalist and wrong really no matter how you look at it (aside from the union aspect I suppose, but they definitely use it as a weapon, not as a tool). I'm happy to see Uber and Lyft and whatnot upend them. Not so happy it had to be done through shady practices.
