I wonder what the answer is to these two questions:

- Once we've driven out the competition, what prevents some other VC-backed firm from playing the same trick? If customers go for the cheapest thing -and let's face it, taxi and food delivery are not differentiable- won't there always be another disruptor?

- If there's a monopoly that lets us make huge profits, wouldn't the government come and do something about that?

Drones and perhaps, down the road, teleporters.

Right and then the trick will be to make the cheapest drone delivery? How is it ever not a race to the bottom?
