  How exactly am I demonizing profit? I'm just saying you can't really paint yourself as speaking truth to power when you are orders of magnitude more powerful than the ordinary citizen, especially when you're working to destroy the protections voted for by said ordinary citizens. Taking the rhetoric of civil rights, resistance against tyranny, protection of ones neighbors, and using that to defend a corporation's right to increase their margins at any cost is pretty disingenuous. It's a valid viewpoint to think that corporations have that right, but if you really believe it, why do you need to employ the semiotics of ghandi-style asymmetric struggle?

You brought up the 1.5 B that Uber got. What is the guaranteed revenue of the German government no matter how inept they are? Again, you don't get to set the numbers.
