Even though Uber will eventually be ruined by the bad press, we should all appreciate what they did. The taxi industry was an overregulated high-rent business dominated by insiders, delivering shitty service at high prices, and nobody was able to break into it.
Uber broke that and introduced people to what is possible with the free market. Now the government can't just go back to its corrupt ways. People will notice if service degrades.
I hope Lyft, Uber, and others are driven out of some markets just so we can see if there's a backlash against the unholy union of government, left-wing unions, and taxi cab companies.
I feel like people should be reminded about what the government and taxi cab union dominated market was like with their hedgefund insider deals (to purchase medallions) and other corrupt dealings.
People always assume decapitating Uber will bring an utopia ... they should be reminded about how corrupt government is when nobody is watching (and people usually aren't watching).
