- ninja3925 6y agoI don't understand why people say Uber "bought" a law. Is every prop sponsored by a corporation a "purchase"? This type of speech undermines our collective trust in democracy and should not be OK.
- bepvte 6y agoCorporate lobbying and the wealthy's influence in politics damages democracy far more then this rhetoric ever could.
- natchy 6y ago> This type of speech ... should not be OK I think there are perfectly good reasons to distrust democracy. especially in the information age.
- snypher 6y agoUber and friends spend over $200 million to pass this law. Yes, this is a purchase, or more like a theft. Yes, I would even go so far as to say every prop sponsored by a corporation is a purchase. Do you have the ability to spend $200m on a law to help your company? Would it be ok if you did?
- advrs 6y agoThis is a very idealistic view of the Prop 22 debate, and I encourage you take a more material analysis to this issue if you want to understand it. It was a cheap way for VC-backed companies to "buy" a legal method to skirt existing labor laws and regulations. This is the antithesis of democracy.
