I've only used Uber once, out of curiosity really. It was fine, just like a taxi, the price was a little less but not much. I asked the driver if he liked driving for Uber and he said it was his last shift, he was going back to driving for a taxi company as he couldn't make any money driving for Uber. As the city I live in has an over supply of taxis Uber can't exploit the customers, so it sounds like they need to exploit their drivers instead.

We started the same thing here in New Zealand. I was a bit outraged when $1.2 billion of taxpayers money was handed out to build a national fibre network, but it's turning out not too bad. Not perfect, but not bad either. It helps that the opposition bought in, despite disagreeing on details.

The key line to me is: Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs are leading the offering They are the people who will the make the real money. They always do.

My view is that he has failed. The media where I live don't report anything at all about Snowden anymore, he might as well not exist. But then the media where I live are supine lickspittles who spend their time regurgitating Government media releases and celebrity news.
