"you have companies that laugh in the face of decades of learned consumer experience and have a history of abusing the market to push out competitors"

Oh yes. The taxi commission isn't pushing out competitors whatsoever with bans on Uber/Lyft. You're completely right.

Ah yes, because anyone who doesn't jump wholeheartedly behind The Brotherhood of Uber must support the taxi lobby.

Like I said, the nuances of this topic is frequently lost when discussed in tech circles, where many people seem to view the world as binary, where companies are either benevolent in a Christ-like manner or pure unadulterated evil.

Let's drop the "with us or against us" schtick yeah? It's tiresome and childlike.
