What's the point of these fines if NJ and other governments have no real power to enforce them? This seems to be all for show. Sure, we throw poor people in jail over a $20 fine. But Uber doesn't pay tens of millions and nothing at all happens to them. It's impossible to see this as anything other than separate justice systems for the rich and poor. If Uber was a real person, they'd probably be in jail for life. If they weren't white, they'd be sitting on death row. Instead, we talk of them as if they are some sort of success: a company breaking laws and hemorrhaging money with no chance in fucking hell of ever being profitable.
