> Uber probably are doing something dodgy, with all these shell companies, but this opening remark just shouts "Don't trust this source - they don't know what they are talking about". Uber, like all massive companies, are always doing dodgy tax avoidance things. But, even if they're doing tax avoidance, it's still legal as long as it's not blatant fraud. Like all media companies, Business Insider has manipulated the content to cause outrage with their target markets for readers. Though, on the topic of wording data, it's always interesting to see how media organizations & companies as a whole swing things, for example: "Uber claimed $4.5 billion in global operating losses ... in reality, it brought in $5.8 billion in operating revenue" could've been written as: "Uber brought in $5.8 billion in operating revenue, however, declared a loss of $4.5 billion" or "In a 2019 filing, Uber declared a $4.5 billion loss, despite earning $5.8 billion in operating revenue." |
