Exec and Uber aren't gouging, though.

Exec is actually cheaper for cleaning than something like Merry Maids. Plus the workers get paid way more.

Uber is more expensive than a cab, but it did not come into existence because the founders wanted to gouge people who needed cabs. It happened because cab service in SF is so terrible, an alternative was desperately needed.
