This article is stupid, Uber was not caught unawares and has been in repeated violation of several requirements for operating in London.

This isn't the end of some libertarian utopian dream of innovation, but rather uber's continued blatant disregard of local laws.

It's not really stupid if you realize it's very likely an Uber PR piece masquerading as an article :). In that sense, it makes quite a bit of sense!

[supercanuck]

It is written by a good well known exonomist, so i doubt it inthis case

[wavefunction]

Exonomists can be purchased.

[gberger]

Wait, I thought exonomist was a typo. Does it mean anything different than economist?

[demonshalo]

so can you therefor your opinion is invalid... Examine what is said on its own merit not according to who said it or why.

Yes .. this piece of article does not resound with my biases and beliefs . So the author must be paid shill. /s
