Yes - up until a certain point. While that may work for a small company, Uber has grown into a massive organization with employee-employees (like, in their offices), a huge international team of drivers, and an obligation to shareholders and investors, and to some extent the society and communities around them. A company of one that fails is a personal failure. If Uber fails, you are leaving a lot of people jobless and failing a lot of people. That affects a diverse and international set of people with families and mortgages and problems of their own. Regardless of how free-market your beliefs are, it's hard to say that letting a huge company fail due to the inabilities of a one person (who happened to be one of the people that made it what it is today), is a hard pill for me to swallow. Not that gov't bailing a company out is a better choice. Just that it's not as black and white as you would like it to be. 😉
