...notice 2 of 3 replies indicate surprise at how much I was being downvoted.
eg.
>Christianity causes people to murder and steal, because the perpetrator of a murder/theft was Christian.
Any large group will have a number of bad actors, that is not indicative of anything except the large group being large. Even "interfering with the normal course of competitor's business" was an action of one firm, though it's pretty clear Uber allowed such actions to continue.
and finally "price surges" and "price gouging during states of emergencies." are ethically on the fence. People with a capitalistic bent would not find these immoral. Whether you feel our monetary distribution system is fair is another matter... I would argue that if wealth was fairly distributed (operating on my definition of fair here) then that would be a perfectly moral thing.
All this is to say: You were REALLY trying hard to smear Uber. Just like this article is. Which is really weird, because Uber's done enough things to smear themselves. They don't need help.
If nothing else, this is a good reminder to never trust the press. Too bad the press is the only tool we have to keep an eye on the other people you should never trust (politicians, ceos, etc). Instead, you should trust the anonymous internet commenters ! Oh, shit...what just happened?
So, I just saw the comment and told why it may have "disappeared." I never read the OP, and don't intend to waste my time reading it. Apparently, many people don't like that I don't care about Uber. At all. Ironically, that just removed my flagging ability.
