Uber Tests 30% Fee, Its Highest Yet

Yep, this is an interesting pattern in a libertarian (essentially, they are ignoring laws for now) society. They will provide good service and rates until they have a monopoly and can maintain it. Then, they'll abuse the customer until a viable alternative pops up.

You assume they can get to 'monopoly'(how do you define monopoly? 80% 90% 100%?). In an actual free market that will rarely, if ever happens. When has that actually occurred? (government backed cartels don't count)

And this is why antitrust law exists.
