In Marxist terms, what to Uber is a car owned by an Uber driver?
This is an interesting answer! Science is an example Marx gives of a free gift to capitalists (not just, like, sunshine), but this suggests those free gifts still cost someone... https://twitter.com/brianrbarone/status/1284315071922032640
And don't they usually? Science may be free to employers, but they can only make use of it via the exploitation of workers, and learning science is hard!
Form Uber's perspective, what distinguishes an Uber driver's car, in terms of its role in value production, from a driver's ability to drive?
This is true! But what if a company decides they don't want to pay for 100% of the costs? What if they only want to pay 90? https://twitter.com/null_convention/status/1284319047258124294
