Uber has been running TV ads in New York City that specifically say:
"Mayor de Blasio's plan to stop Uber will cost 10,000 jobs..."
So it's fair to have some more detailed discussion about what these purported jobs are.
Also, we live in a country that protects workers. We try to make sure they're safe. We try to make sure they're fairly compensated. Not everyone has the same degree of life and career flexibility of the average young techie. So even though this particular guy can probably go find another gig, "if the pay's so crappy they can just go get other jobs" isn't a universal solution.
