All of those things could have done without systematically breaking the law at every turn.

We shouldn't let corporations unilaterally decide which regulations they want to follow; if they think some laws are unfair they should work to change them through the democratic process like the rest of us.

Well I for one am glad to have these services at my disposal earlier than later. There would be way less innovation if everyone insisted on doing things right. Which laws are broken if it is good or bad is a subjective matter. Some people though those laws were unnecessary and backward. Some people thought otherwise. IMO people got better service and drivers got income because of that brash behavior.Breaking those laws probably saved more lives than not breaking them.

Allowing multinational corporations carte blanche to disregard any law they want is not a precedent I want our society to set. Even if it worked out in this case (which is very debatable), its a very slippery slope.

yes lets just trust the administration instead. I am sure current administration has our best interest at heart /s

The government is at least nominally controlled by the people. That's a helluva lot better than dictatorship by corporation.
