People vote with their votes, and buy things with their wallets.  Voting isn&#x27;t merely a synonym for choosing, it&#x27;s an act of political engagement.  I don&#x27;t &quot;vote&quot; for Tide-brand soap when I buy it, because buying consumer goods isn&#x27;t (usually) a political act.<p>Also, Uber doesn&#x27;t help people with low economic or political power.  Those people still have feature phones and walk or take the bus.
