When did Uber obey the law? Why would they start now?

Edit: Apologies for my tone, but Uber has demonstrated quite a few times in the past that they don't have any respect for the law.

In absolute numbers, their company probably follows more laws than most people on this forum, since they operate in many different jurisdictions. It wouldn't surprise me if the average HN commenter committed more felonies than the average Uber executive, or of Uber as a whole.

It doesn't matter how many laws you follow. It matters how many you break.

What kind of bizarre argument are you making?

[StavrosK]

That if you follow enough laws, it doesn't matter if you break some.

That is such an apples to oranges comparison.
