          Kinda just sound like a conspiracy nut finding arguments where there are none with people who are just talking about the article

            That’s certainly a take.

        That’s nonsensical, since workers drive for both.

      Taxi companies tend to be smaller, more locally owned businesses with actual employees instead of “contractors.” Why would we *not side with them?
