There's civil disobedience to unjust laws and there's giving no fucks about the legal system.
Your argument is basically valid, but fails to account for Uber's consistent violations of law at several levels of government and geographic areas.
- JoshTriplett 10y ago"consistent" is exactly what you'd hope for when attempting to systematically demonstrate an improvement that a class of regulations prevents; "consistent" here means alignment with a clear goal, focusing on the things that achieve that goal, and treating every restriction preventing that goal in the same way. The article suggests, and I'd agree, that the problem wasn't Uber avoiding or ignoring taxi regulations; the problem was them applying that same gleefully transgressive attitude towards other areas that had nothing to do with their goal.
