The efforts of Uber and Lyft over the last few months to rewrite the laws of the City of Austin to their pleasing through a not-at-all-subtle application of money, spam and propaganda went far, far beyond taste. Doesn’t matter if you support the TNC companies or not (I mostly do), but they went way too far in their blatant attempts to subvert the democratic process of our city. So, yeah, no thanks – don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.

I imagine they will have better luck corrupting the State of Texas legislature to override the cities, but have fun doing this 49 more times.
