> regulate the hell out of Uber and turn the unicorn into a donkey These are the words used to describe a hypothetical situation of your own creation. It seems

  Turning Uber into a glorified taxi company, compliant with all existing taxi legislation in every jurisdiction worldwide and employing full-time employees with fixed schedules, would either kill it or strip its value so severely as to make it a laughing stock. I have no doubt that heavy-handed regulation could bring such a change. Commenters here and on other submissions seem to complain that such regulation doesn't exist, in particular that Uber doesn't employ full time workers. Maybe I'm missing something. Help me understand what the hyperbolic part is.

    But you just made up that scenario, and its consequences. Also, each post seems to contain more hyperbolic phrases. I think they are obvious enough that I'm not getting into the business of listing them.
