> when I look back 10 years ago Uber/Lyft are probably top 3 things that have made the world better
Really? A car service in your opinion is in the top 3 of what made the world measurably better in the last 10 years?

- polio cases worldwide have dropped to well below 100 per year since 2010 (except last year, 175)
- same sex marriage if you want to focus on the us
- Sharp drop in air travel with the corresponding benefits on global warming. Recent, but analysts seem to agree that business travel will permanently drop to between 1/2 and 1/3 of what it was before now that the world has discovered video conferencing is a thing.
I don't mean to downplay these accomplishments, but I think the impact of Uber/Lyft is greater than these on a simple per capita basis. Maybe that's a American-centric view but it's far more realistic for many Americans than "no polio cases"
