The intention was to point out Uber’s hypocrisy.

Great idea! Let’s get rid of those pesky regulations that say things like the driver’s need to be properly licenced and insured. Let the free market decide what’s safe and what’s not, amirite?

They should be (and are in this case)held to the same standards and requirements as other taxi and minicab companies are held to, otherwise they have a distinct unfair advantage.

“caved in to a small number of people who want to restrict consumer choice.”

Yeah...like how the driver is facing the passenger seat cleaning his sword.

So, one plus, it won’t hit anything.

I always wished there was a time traveling A-10 movie where the pilot just interferes with historical battles while smoking a cigar and laughing like a maniac.

The A-10 despite being old and to some outdated is still my favourite plane. The pilots of the Warthogs will always have my respect for flying the tank of the air!
