You are ignoring the fact that regulations which protected taxis would not allow ride sharing companies like uber or lyft to exist. Uber made it possible to have those car sharing companies.Taxis are awful in so many cities. It is impossible to expect quick pick-up in cities like buffalo,NY. Many worse things happen in loads of companies . They get away with it because media is not interested. I totally believe the massive upheaval more than makes up for their mistakes.

Uber chose one route to make it possible. That doesn't mean other ways didn't exist (e.g. lobbying for change).

Furthermore, the fact that Uber led the way here still doesn't mean "justice" has been served for anything, especially since most of the horrible things Uber has done were done after Uber opened up the market (and past actions can never be said to provide "justice" for future actions).

"horrible things": oh summer child. I would categorize most of these as misdemeanor. Try to take a breath and really look at it. Except for susan fowler case other things aren't that bad, except for firing everyone responsible I don't see what else should have been done.

I get the impression that you're not actually aware of even half of what Uber's done. Maybe you've only been paying attention for the past few months, but Uber's been doing a lot of bad stuff for many years now.
