"While there isn’t anything fundamentally wrong with companies like Uber or
Airbnb in the “access economy”, they are not examples of organizations who are
truly “sharing” nor are they reinvesting any of its revenues or profits into
the workers and/or materials it rents. It extracts money from its “partners”
and reinvests the profit in itself, not those who are its laborers."
