   5 years ago in  Uber Eats is not a profitable business. Here's the math. ...and how Uber has the cake and eats it too. (Forbes)

  I keep hearing that this is the fastest growing business in Uber in terms of orders and revenue, albeit there is a lot of competition. How does this make sense?

  Another start-up where profits and sound business models are completely ignored for the sake of growth. Notice how a few investors decide what businesses and concepts should be next. No matter what any one says, we live in a world where a few people determine how the world should turn.

  Why does everyone thinks this is a good idea then?

  Investors?  Uber is obviously not making any profits, so this must be based on growth and their attempt to capture the market share.  It's another start-up business taking over an existing industry and operating under heavily leverage finances (borrowing a lot of money for growth for potential long-term gain).

  I feel all the other businesses that are being affected by this changing tides.

  City regulations didn't shut down Uber and Lyft for many years.  Well, let me rephrase. Cities tried but they didn't listen.

  So Bird and Lime should just ignore the authorities again, right?

  These are automated scooters and can really help short distance travels and commutes. I feel like this is a segment no one else has covered before. You wouldn't take an Uber four blocks away but you would a Scooter.  Sure you can walk it but you'd also pay $1 to make it easier.

  I am actually a fan.
