I'm going to be going against the echo chamber here, but I traveled around Europe and South America for five months recently (digital nomad)... The common question was "...why do you think the US/Silicon Valley has the technology and opportunities that it does...". My honest answer... Less regulation and an attitude of do what it takes to be successful in the early days. The hustle. I think people underestimate how cut-throat technology and business is, especially in the market Uber is in. Uber is doing what is takes to be successful. Ultimately you have to ask yourself, who is going to have the best and brightest minds, lawyers, and lobbyist.... Uber or the Government?
