Truth be said Uber is a criminal enterprise facing RICO charges in multiple jurisdictions. As a small business owner, I assure you that any small- to medium size business, that has as many law-violations, regulatory non-compliance issues, plain unethical and deceiving business practices as Uber, would long have been closed down no negotiations and no questions asked. It's mind-boggling that uber's bullying unethical fraudulent behavior is allowed in our legal business society. I have known small local transportation businesses that had their licenses revoked and businesses closed for far far less than what uber does day after day after day... Mind-boggling, and sends a dual message, first - that our authorities do not fully comprehend the bullying ego-centric law-breaking nature of the said enterprise, and second - is that "money talks" and that uber likely has few unethical politicians and regulators in its deep multi-billion dollars untaxed pockets.
