Dear Government, Deliver Us From Freedom

I have no problem with this paradigm but we must be aware of compelling arguments from people such as economist Richard Wolff. Peer-to-peer or horizontal economy loses it's horizontal appeal when again one at the top is taking money that should go to the drivers and pocketing it. What looked horizontal at first becomes a vertical top-down system where the driver gets undercut and works for less money than she should. I'm all about the worker coop aspect of the peer-to-peer economy where there are no fat cats at the top. If there is top-down going on, it's not fully peer-to-peer. Uber is partly peer-to-peer and part "i own you". If the owners of Uber wanted to they could flip the switch and kill it. True peer-to-peer should run on block chain, be decentralized, run into infinity and divide the profits equally to those that do the work.
