While subjective, there is a difference between breaking laws / fighting authority for moral reasons, and breaking laws for financial gain. Yeah, maybe you as an engineer would feel morally righteous for "fighting the man", but Uber doesn't care about that -- it just wants $$$.
- aantix 10y agoUber is fighting the man, in effort to capture $$$/market. That's their market. A business makes money? As much as you wouldn't like to admit, they've broken through a market that was once monopolized and the cities had zero interest in doing anything about it. You now have superior car ride services in part for the work they've done in the market. They have raised the bar.

- odbol 10y agoExactly the point: the law has ceased to serve the people and has become irrelevant. It's on the government to change it in order for society to progress, not hold us back. Remember, people are using Uber. Citizens. Voters. They are voting with their dollar for the superior product. The government's role has become obsolete in the transaction.
