Interesting that this comment is getting poor reception when this has shown, historically, to be a very effective way of dealing with oligarchs. Especially ones that, as you've correctly stated, have a long history of breaking laws and abusing workers and customers.

I challenge anyone reading this thread to really criticize why they believe their own personal interests are aligned in any way with the people who have a controlling share in uber.

I don’t need my personal interests to align with someone to think that they don’t deserve the death penalty.

Also curious as to where you think it’s been “very effective” to deal with any kind of crime?

Is that really the bar we should be using? My interests don't align with the corner store small business owner who sells bread in a small rural town, should I be okay with terminating her business too?
