If making it illegal for competition to exist is the only way to keep Uber running then it shouldn't keep running.

Erecting barriers to entry is what every single business tries to do. Whether it's buying patents, spending vast sums of money on your brand, monopolising key resources - they're all trying to do the same thing.

It makes complete sense to me why they would go to these lengths.

I'm looking at this from the perspective of: Vehicle manufacturers are not allowed to manage their own dealerships. All vehicles in my state are required to be sold through a 3rd party. That kind of thing is shitty to me.
