The World Belongs to Uber

In Uber’s vision of the future, most people won’t own cars. Riders will hop on electric bikes and scooters for short distances, and summon cars with drivers for longer rides. Takeout dinner will become a vestige, replaced by hand-delivered meals. Garages will empty and parking lots will be ripped up and transformed into grassy parks.
Eventually, robots will rule. Self-driving cars will shuttle people around the roads—and in the air—while drones will make the deliveries. Robotrucks will roam the highways. And Uber will be at the center of it all.     WSJ
The world belongs to Uber, leastways that is what they plan,
making them Conspiracy's primary bogeyman.
If your bus is not on time, then Uber is to blame.
When a hubcap's missing it's an Uber-funded game.
All the bikes and scooters have the markings of the Beast.
Drones are multiplying like a pack of Fleischmann's Yeast.
Soon no movement can you make unless an Uber-clerk
signs a chit or pulls a switch with irritating smirk.
Up, my comrades, let us march, and tear this monster down!
(And let the ruler true come forth, as Google we do crown.)
