Come on, you just cherry-picked the one part of his argument that didn't conflict with what you had to say. I'll grant you that you started by admitting that... He's not just talking about protecting existing jobs, he's talking about an existing regulated market that bends to meet standards that are dictated for financial and safety. Uber came in and ignored those regulations. Those companies have insurance, which means he can use them in his business, and Uber he cannot use because they are not operating within the legal framework.

There is a reason for the legal framework to exist, and it's not only to protect existing entrenched business interests.
