UMC is the Upper Middle Class, they of whom Bob Seger sings.

I don't think Uber usage is limited to the upper middle class. That's certainly where it started, but it's expanding. Of course, not a lot of poor people ride taxis, so....
But Uber isn't gutting the economy. It's gutting the people who were sitting on their asses collecting medallion fees. Those guys were already fucking over the workers who had to pay those extortion fees. So now they are coming out as icons of the good capitalist who helps his workers -- and you are buying into that? Sheesh.
Never heard the name "Travis Kalanick" before -- I'll assume he's connected to Uber, and so brought a disruptive technology into play, which has resulted in, among other things, the fucking dispatchers actually picking up the phone when I call (not on weekends of course -- let's not get carried away). Competition works.
The whole "sharing economy" concept is troublesome to me, to the extent that it is a result or symptom of people lacking full-time work and having to piece work together. But your anger here seems misdirected, at a symptom rather than at a cause.
