I was hoping to get a glimpse into the chaos that occurred after the city of Austin, TX voted against Prop 1, a "citizen initiative" in 2016. Basically, the prop was to reverse the city's requirement on TNCs, like background checks and fingerprinting. During that time, Lyft AND Uber spammed the people living in Austin with a shit ton of mailers, local billboards were bought up encouraging people to vote yes on Prop 1, and even the apps were pushing their propaganda. At some point, I remember Lyft and Uber pushing a false narrative that the number of DUIs and alcohol related deaths would go up if they pulled out of the market. Highly aggressive with this approach. IIRC, the amount of advertising spent to get Prop 1 passed surpassed any previous citizen initiated proposition in the city. Would have loved to see that two faced fuck Kalanick cry after it was defeated. edited: passed -> defeated
