Consolidated monopolies like oil and telecoms make sense because they require huge infrastructure investments. In all reality, the cost of cloning uber in any city with enough cars and smartphones is not out of reach.

There is an air of resentment in every Uber ride for me, and I find it detracts from the experience.
