I'm my land the taxi industry was reregulated in 1990 and although there have been numerous small players comes and go the established players are still there with some additions. Cetianly not as profitable. this was backed up by regulation: separate endorsements for licence, log books, police checks, in car cameras etc.
Uber did none of these until recently when the law was changed to help them and they are now fulfilling most of these conditions.
The other way Uber rip off their competitors is this whole 'ride-sharing' lie, they have the drivers register for GST (the local VAT equivalent) but the drivers pay no GST because no one earns over the $40k that requires a return. (After all they are 'independent contractors eh?) Established/ any other taxi company collect & pay GST at an enterprise level so Uber gets a 15% tax-free break. That means they are also ripping off the taxpayer but our Republican/ Conservative major political party analogue (National) just sucked their dick and agreed to let them go their way.
They are not a technology company they are a transportation company using their drivers (through depreciation of their cars etc.) and the taxpayer to fund their lying, duplicitous ways.
Maybe, just maybe people are being diagnosed with a mental illness when previously the prevailing attitude was 'suck it up;.
Previous veterans had to get on with their lives with their own resources, plenty of WW2 veterans topped themselves.
Remember back in WW1 shell shock was initially attributed to LMF (lack of moral fibre).
Attitudes have changed since then.
Yeah, yeah, typical right wing view.
Compatible with the concept exhibited here of go way and be someone else's problem/ out of sight, out of mind.
If you have been on state benefits yourself you would find that it is not a bed of roses.
Hey!
Not all the Commonwealth is impoverished, just most of it. Good luck getting those Free Trade agreements in place, the EU have started negotiating in NZ primarily to stop the UK from getting in first. You are at the back of the queue.
That is what 5 eyes is for. Although they are not supposed to spy on another's citizens to circumvent local laws.
With NZ's experience with our spooks I would not trust them to make coffee.
Yes we all have caveman brains. It has been only a few hundred thousand years and our social settings are designed for groups of approx. ~150 individuals max.
Perhaps the following warning:
'If used as per the manufacturer's instructions then this will probably lead to:
- Lung cancer
- Emphysema
- Respiratory illnesses
- Heart disease
In a large number of individuals these effects will be fatal.'
'SJW' -like me- tend to post pseudonymously whereas those libertarian/ conservative/ alt right fruit cakes tend to post as Anonymous Cowards. That is the maincorrelation I have seen.
He was there when Uber paid off some hackers with $100k after data breach.
Because paying off criminals (or terrorists) never emboldens them to do it again.

An awesome company, just awesome.
Not trolling, trucks are not knifes nor are they guns. How many can you kill with a knife rather than a rifle? If those ISIS blokes in London had AR-15s how many would have died? Knifes require the personal touch.
Check Australia's murder with guns after the Port Arthur massacre. See also Dunblane in the UK after young kids where killed in a school, also rates dropped.
Pleased I do not live in your country. BTW not alt-left; I prefer Social Democrat.
Not American so not too concerned about the intricacies of your (?) constitution Anonymous Coward.
We are not talking about a strawman religion of murderers, we are talking Islam; the vast majority (like any other religion) are peaceable folk, who do not want others to be converted against there will. You still holding to the Old Testament injunctions of a savage god as well mate? Trump found out that he cannot ban people just because they are Muslims.
Feel free to post in the shade of pseudonymity Coward.
Does not your constitution say that each should be treated equally before the law and that one should not be discriminated against based on their religion? Or does that only apply in circumstances that the ruling clique determine?

I object, I am not a 'Wine Snob'; I am a 'Wine Wanker'.
Alternate translation: 'Uber may not have violated ant laws but on their past performance they probably have and covered it up.'
I vote you and yours first.

Your country's constitution not mine. Don't profess to be an expert and do not care to be one.

Difficult to commit mass murder with a knife; also difficult to commit suicide with a gun when you do not have access to one.
