Uber secures right to continue operating in London

> Seems like the fact that there is constantly surge pricing and long waiting time means that there are too few Uber drivers, even in "low quality" cars, to meet demand. Your complaints sound like the old joke about prison food: it tastes terrible and the portions are too small.

What an odd thought leap! It seems like your comparison to the prisoner would apply to anyone who thought the price of something was too high for what you were getting, so doesn't actually seem like a compelling point.

it's the combo of high price and low availability that makes the comparison relevant. from a naive market perspective, "too expensive" and "unavailable" is a contradiction. put another way, if it really were too expensive, everyone else would not have bought up all the supply already.
