Sure. If you completely ignore the context that it is only intended for automated crawlers and misread it as referring to everyone then, yes, I agree that would be ridiculous...

(It's also kind of ridiculous in these days to have an essentially-voluntary anti-bot system and expect it to do anything, but that's another topic.)

The market is based on policy.

Command economies pretty much died after 1991. China tries, but it keeps stepping on its own dick every time Xi issues an edict trying to buck market forces.

You would shit your pants like a new born baby if you saw what your fuel price would be like without subsidies for oil and gas

It's pretty much neutral. In our state, oil and gas subsidize other programs. I would be shitting in my pants, because without the socialist fingers in our till, we'd be paying about a buck a gallon less for gas.

Uber will get rid of all human drivers

Perhaps. But Uber will have to build out its fleet of autonomous vehicles. That's a big capital investment. That they are dropping $4000 per vehicle into the existing drivers hands seems to indicate that they don't yet have a better place to invest it. Like their own equipment.

And keep in mind that the original Uber model was an app that leveraged driver-owned cars. Dump all those drivers back onto the market and some smart developers (probably Vibe coded) will build a new app for them.
