The sidebar suggested I read another CEI article entitled "stop forcing unions on your workers".

Uh huh. This article sure seems like it represents facts in an unbiased way..

Look, you don't like CEI? Fine, me neither, from the looks of it.

Are they spinning a libertarian agenda? Yes they are.

Is this article mostly an attack on uber and "shameless, greenwashed crony capitalism"? Yes it is.

BUT

Is it true that a group outlined those 10 proposals? Yes it is.[0]

Is it true that proposal #10 is about only permitting fleets to operate EVs? Yes it is.

Is it true that Uber (and Lyft, and Bla Bla Car, and...) signed this proposals? Yes it is.[1]

Will those companies greatly profit from that kind of regulation? You betcha!

That is the gist of the article, and that is what we should be discussing about.

EDIT: OT, but is your name a reference to Snow Crash? Because if it is, good job! :)
