The problem with late-stage US capitalism is that, as long as you have money, you are above everything.

* Want to change laws? create lobby group

* Want to get special treatment? buy politicians

* Want to get even bigger? No problems, can do anything for your money, lets pick any candidate for POTUS and we can make it a reality

* Some people are creating problems? (Thomas Massie) - no problems, lets promote another candidate and spend +$30M on his campaign

Citizens? Oh come on, who cares about them, call riot police and they will start behaving properly

And then everyone is saying, the law which Uber broke was actually non-sense and was working for the benefit of Taxi companies.

Of course it does, because system is built in a way to create non-sense regulations to protect lobbyist of that time, not the average people
