| Rockefeller and Kalanick - both criminals |
At its heart is a clearly unfair practice called "low balling." What Rockefeller did was run his railroads at a deliberate loss for a five year period. He was making so much money off of Standard Oil, that this was no problem. His competitors (who needed to make a profit) were unable to keep matching Rockefeller's price. They all eventually went out of business. Then, JD was able to charge any damn price he wanted to move product by rail. The same thing is happening today with Uber.
Kalanick calls it "customer behavior modification." He is low balling the Tampa area to get all of the former taxi riders. Soon, United Cab and Yellow (regulated transportation) will be gone. Then, Uber can run 10x surge all day long. Don't like it? Then fucking walk. Most people will then call the taxi companies but get a recording stating that the number they have reached is out of order.
Anyone with a reasoned mind can see how this would not be good for any community. People need to understand just what they are doing by supporting ride share. They are cutting their own throats.
At the local Tampa area, I read today in the TBT that Uber is paying only 10% of the rate that the cab companies pay for licensing fees to the PTC. Uber pays ZERO to the airport but they let them pick up anyway which only cuts our fares and we pay $250,000 a year to serve the airport. Is this fair? Is this right?
The business people I pick up everyday from TIA say they are very much aware of Uber and their illegal activities. That is why they deliberately walked to the taxi quad to get a ride. (Uber is allowed to pick up in the tunnel...we are banned. This is totally unfair)
An anti-trust law suit has been filled by the largest cab company in the nation out of San Francisco. I hope it makes it to the Supreme Court because they have precedent and case law on their side. This time, they won't break up Uber, they will get rid of it and throw Kalnaick in jail where he belongs.
Get off your misinformed, behind the times lazy ass and find another way to support yourself.
ReplyDeleteYour constant belly aching about Uber for over 3 years now is redundant. Cab business is Dead!
The only reason I published your post is for others to see what an asshole you are. You have been polluting my blog with your unwanted comments for years. I rarely, if ever publish them.
DeleteThe reason you come here is you can't get enough of me. Admit it.
I and the "Ride Share Guy" blog are the only ones out there that are making any sense. All you can do is hide in the shadow. I know you feel little joy and life, and you probably suffer little in your safe world. It must be awful to never experience victory or defeat. You just live in a grey twilight.
