While I see Uber and other ride-sharing companies, including Lyft, as the foundation of a gig economy directed at undermining workers rights by escaping taxes, labor and other regulations, the notion that decentralization will do anything but worsen this ludicrous and laughable: take away ANY regulation and accountability mechanisms so the stronger will eat the weaker.

This has about as much credibility as the idea that the Gamestop herd did anything but take from the rich to reward the rich for failing to do their job.

"GameStop’s CEO Is Getting Millions on His Way Out. He’s Not the Only One.

Separation agreements between GameStop and the four executives, including Chief Executive Officer George Sherman, have provisions that let stock awarded during their tenure to vest when they leave. While such a handling of leadership transitions isn’t atypical, it does potentially allow the executives to sell their shares near GameStop’s historically high levels.

GameStop’s shares closed Friday at $151.18. They hit an intraday peak of $483 in late January after ending 2020 at just below $19."
