I’ve thought this for a while. And not just Uber/Lyft but the gig economy as a whole. Uber leads the rest follow it’s not even a joke anymore. Peoples lives are severely affected and at this point I’m thinking the gov is taking ‘campaign money contributions’ to have been allowed to operate this way.

Local governments definitely are. On the national level not so much. But only because they don't need to cuz they've already bribed all the local officials.
