- whoiskevin 11y agoExactly. "At one point, Uber sent five representatives to a meeting with members of the insurance industry to negotiate language in the bill" Just makes you feel warm and fuzzy doesn't it?
- e28eta 11y agoI think it's interesting watching Uber become politically savvy. When the company started, it simply ignored regulations that weren't convenient. Now they seem to lean on lobbying, as well as campaigns to drive the public to contact local politicians. But that only works because they're large enough now.
