The anti Uber PR campaign is now in full swing.
But seriously, what surprises me is that they've basked in negative attention for so long, with so little effort to spin things their way and haven't been suffering any visible consequences in terms of hiring and funding. I'm not sure if that's just because everyone loves a winner, or if it's a measure of how annoyed everyone was at the pre-Uber state of taxis.
Enjoy your consumer excess before their VC runs out. Couldn't happen to a more deserving org.
This was addressed in the second half of my post. Most people didn't really have a problem with this part for a long time.
But the Constitution says it is. If one law says "you can't do that" and Congress does THAT THING, what is the point? The Supreme Court just says "living document" and lets Congress do whatever.

They're legislating things that Constitution says they don't have the power to do.
* trying to dredge up dirt on journalist for being negative towards your company * having the ceo say an incident involving a uber driver choking a passenger "never happened" * offering customers rides with "hot chicks" in france * kalanik boasting that he should have called the company "boober" from all the women he gets * having a "god view" that employees used to spy on exes, politicians and celebrities. they paid a measly $20k fine and supposedly continue to still allow employees to use god view.
keep in mind the executive who tried to find dirt on journalists to blackmail them wasn't even fired by kalanik.
BUT YES. YES. the press! the media! they're all out to get Uber.
ah yes, besides this fiasco...
