There are some particularly bad things here like
> Warned that doing so risked putting Uber drivers at risk of attacks from “extreme right thugs” who had infiltrated the taxi protests and were “spoiling for a fight”, Kalanick appeared to urge his team to press ahead regardless. “I think it’s worth it,” he said. “Violence guarantee[s] success. And these guys must be resisted, no? Agreed that right place and time must be thought out.”
However, this is how all "unicorn" startups operate. Break the law until they get caught and pay a small fine. Uber will get away with this and people will continue to use Uber.

- effingwewt 4y agoIt absolutely is when paying fines for breaking the law is called 'cost of doing business'. Businesses want to pretend they are people with rights, then they need to be punished. Send the whole C-suite and Board to fucking prison. Uber is super corrupt but hardly unique.
- kevincox 4y agoWhy would any rational company follow the law when the cost of not doing so is miniscule and the upsides are huge. If the law encourages people not to follow it the law isn't very effective.
