Comment on Drivers Co-op is doing a kickstarter to expand their Uber alternative thats owned by the drivers.
nosurprises@lemm.ee 11 months agoIn real life, people are subject to biases and heuristics even if they think that they are acting in their best interest. This is what many economic theories fail to take into account. Moreover, within the organization different subjects would have different economic interests and means to achieve them.

You might be able to say that drivers would be more likely to offer each additional resources (education or perhaps other more material resources) to ensure quality of service over investors who would be more likely to fire drivers. Others have pointed out that they have co-operatively owned taxi services in Europe and this doesn’t seem to cause issues in terms of quality control.
What I described seem to me to be the most evident biases and heuristics that the drivers would be subject to. What other biases and heuristics specifically are you concerned about?
