Reminder: Uber is the utmost evil.
1. It dismantles the very society by undermining the rule of law. What would remain of society if every business decided there are some regulations it could wilfully ignore and build a business based on this?
2. It pushes subprime car mortgages on its drivers. Then the repayment comes out of their wages. Often these cars have remote inhibitors so if you didn't make enough, your car won't start next week. All this has a name: indebted servitude.
3. It launched automated cars with known bugs that put cyclists in deadly danger. It even admitted doing this although not the "deadly" part.
These are all easy to verify to facts. I know I will be downvoted, I am always downvoted when I post this (although 3. is somewhat new), I do not know why I am downvoted -- but I will not stop. Edit: barely a minute after posting I am already downvoted but there's never an answer disputing the facts.
Edit: really? I need to repost this pile of links every bloody time?
1. I do not have or need a source on this, ignoring taxi legislation is what Uber does, simply.
