Irrelevant. Uber flattened the market, removed cabcharge dominance. And removed the barrier to entry for other players.
Just because the barrier to entry was a tradable government stamp is irrelevant. There shouldnt have been a barrier in the first place.
Uber, in a weird, stupid, modernity sucks way, brought justice to an industry that had been unjust for a very long time. Love them or hate them, cabcharge is worse.
>If a regular joe did that he would gaol.
Also bad. The government and taxi lobby should not have set up a situation where giving a ride for money could lead to incarceration. This doesnt support your point, it just further illustrates that the situation was unjust until uber acted.
Its a thought terminating cliche. A law being a law doesnt end an argument. If the law shouldn't be, we are permitted to continue thinking towards its removal.
