ugh, uber? Not to mention, big pharma, alcohol, tobacco, pay day loans, pretty much all forms of loan sharking, gambling, insurance, financial industry, banking.
I mean you can argue each of those til the cows come home but it's relatively equivalent, there are a lot of industries that solely thrive on the exploitation and subsequent legalisation of things that are quite arguably things that should be outlawed or at least regulated very differently than they are today or would be if they kept their lobbyists out of it.
I'm not saying I think any of those things should be illegal either, just saying that the world is full of thes things. Airbnb and uber are just the latest who also happen to be silicon valley darlings.
