Uber and Lyft could have shown some love (if they were sincere)

Uber and Lyft and lots of rich folks will get richer with their respective IPOs. These two companies could have shown their drivers some appreciation without spending a cent.  They could have offered their drivers a crack at their IPOs, at least those with a brokerage account and some funds to invest with. As any investor knows, not just anyone can buy into an ipo. It is most often reserved for those with a lot of money  to invest, as well as other criteria.


Uber and Lyft could have made exceptions for their drivers who at least had a brokerage account and some money to invest by waiving the usual requirements (don't bother to tell me it's a third party who handles the ipo. I know that, but the companies could insist), but they didn't, or at least I never got the memo.  Making such an offer/opportunity would have gotten them a lot of good will with their drivers, which they sorely need right now-again, assuming they actually care.
