Who really will make money from Uber?

Weeks ago, when I heard Uber was going to hire 10,000 drivers in the South and West sides of Chicago, I thought they aren't going to find that many.

Now I've heard, they are going to help people get leases for vehicles. Sure sounds like not being just a go-between of passage and drivers.

I wonder who will really make money off this? Let's see: Uber, car companies selling vehicles, lease companies, the repo man when the leases payments aren't made, the lease company getting write-offs after reselling the vehicles.

I figure a very small number of people will be able to pay for the lease and make any money driving.
