I don't know what are you talking about, but if selling out to predatory foreign companies with openly questionable moral compasses and null respect for the local legislation is "the 21st century", I'd like my dear Europe to stay in the 20th, thank you very much.
- threeseed 12y agoAdd those of us in moderate countries eg Australia to the list. Given how much of a sad joke consumer protection laws are in the US and the general exploitation of the disadvantaged eg interest rates on student loans it's a bit rich to be lecturing other countries on matters like this.

Remaining sold out to predatory local companies which take care to hide their moral compasses, the ones who bought the local legislation to begin with... that's the proper European way. Lots of little fiefdoms exacting tribute from the population, all nice and patriotic. Predatory local companies, you object? Yeah... there's a reason it's easy for Uber to charge half the price of a standard taxi. I mean, I don't trust Uber further than I can throw my smartphone -- just don't labor under the delusion that you're doing the common man a favor by keeping them out. The common man is the guy trying to take uberPool or uberPop or whatever service de jure, to save a little cash.
