Weighing the good vs the bad is something you can only do after a while. It's possible that Uber, which has yet to turn a profit, will effectively go away in a couple of years -- in which case, Kalanick will have spent billions of investors money with nothing to show for it. > Travis has had to make a lot of hard decisions to get Uber where it is. These decisions have at times cost him goodwill of the public but I think they are (were) worth it for the long term. For sure. But it will take a few years to know if that's actually a good place; at present, it doesn't look that way (but it's too early to tell for sure either way).
