Restricted supply = higher prices. Uber should not have been buying cars for their drivers... but if Uber is to be forced to have employee/employer relationships - then Uber's value of freedom to choose working hours goes out the window, as they now can mandate working hours... and surge capacity is literally annihilated.

But that also does not invalidate the claim that Uber ignored laws/regulations, which is what was questioned earlier in the thread.

I'm not (in these posts, I may elsewhere) passing judgement on why they did it and if it were right, only stating that it is what they did.
