Surely there is a reason these taxi regulations are in place. Or not. In any case, is it fair?
My opinion of Uber was something like "great for competition". But of course they can only compete because they're doing so not quite legally, and to great benefits compared to normal taxi drivers.
A normal taxi company might've gotten this large by releasing a good app with some funding, but I doubt it because of the huge advantage Uber has compared to everyone else.
I agree with what I think your point is. But I think you're getting downvoted because you did a lousy job of expressing it, and you did it in a rather disrespectful manner. We try to aim higher on HN.
