At the end of the day you aren’t just subsidizing the companies, you are subsiding the customer/end user.

One could argue that the service they provide is their contribution to society.

They could but they’d be wrong. Delivery service existed in Nyc before them. They’ve just made everything more expensive. We need to bring back in house delivery services and leave Uber out in the suburbs.
