If I got into an Uber like this, I would get off at the next corner and report it to the company. I want to travel in a car and not be psychologically blackmailed, I find it despicable.
So as a function of life, if you don’t have people who will freely drive you places, and you don’t live in a place with public transport, and you can’t move, then you have no options on choices
Maybe back in 2012 there were people driving rideshare ina way that improved their lives but that number is so low at this point that getting into a rideshare is deterministically getting into someone’s car that doesn’t want to be there
