The middle man is a millionaire who modified the law to cheat customers like you out of hundreds of dollars in the name of profit.

VS

Some guy who wants to buy food.

Ideologically, I agree.

But when I am putting a friend in the car to get them home after a night out or have too much luggage to keep it in the back seat? Liability, even with limits, goes a long way

I agree with you, but that isn't worth that ungodly amount of money.

I mean, avoiding DUI and the hassle of a DD is often worth even the surcharge price. Same with not getting your car fucked up at an event.

I try to avoid surge pricing times. But there is very much a reason people pay it

the reason being they are pretty much an oligopoly now, so people have no choice but to pay up

drivers are getting shafted, customers are getting shafted, Uber's shareholders are getting richer.
