What a dumb law. I wish I had a dollar for everytime the government tried to stop progress to protect big, archaic businesses (über, sidecar, lyft, Airbnb, you're with me on this one). Anyone smell corruption brewing?
Think about it. How can a government own a car company then legislate against other car companies? I know it's federal gov buying and local gov ruling in this example, but it's a slippery slope nonetheless. It would be like mark Cuban becoming the commissioner of the NBA while still the owner of the mavs. Anyone here think that would end well?
- jasonlotito 14y agoBy big, archaic businesses you are talking about local car dealerships, right?
- mrdodge 14y agoCar dealerships are big business, many of the big new car dealerships are owned by Fortune 500s like Sonic Automotive and Penske Automotive Group.
- delinka 14y agoThat's how I read it. Not that you've insinuated otherwise, but if you take a look at the requirements for starting a dealership, they're typically not 'small' businesses.
