From Long time RMN reader Joe:
**************************************
THIS JUST IN: City of London has banned UBER. Seems there are too many instances of UBER law breaking and raping of women passengers. London is also considering a 25% social services tax on all "Gig Employee" programs. UBER will appeal. UBER has 40,000 drivers in London.

NEW UBER CEO IS A WUSS AND A WEENIE
UBER, using its usual backwards and upside down thinking,
had a brutal report issued by former US Attorney General Eric Holder responding to complaints by a former female engineer about sexual harassment, groping. fondling, propositioning and women employees not given leather coats like the men. In the wake of the report, 22 top executives, including the CEO were fired.

UBER's Response: Hire a CEO who is an Iranian Muslim, Dara Khosrowshahi. In their culture, women cannot vote, drive cars, must wear a burka and men can have 4 wives and beat them all they want. This is the sort of person you want to address Sexual Harassment of Women Employees at UBER?
HERE IS WHAT THE NEW CEO MUST FACE MOVING FORWARD:
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/dara-khosrowshahi-5-things-know-160731506.html
1) With over 300 major lawsuits against UBER, UBER's Chief Legal Counsel, Sallie Yoo is bailing out, rats leaving a sinking ship. No lawyer has stepped forward
wanting to try to drain this swamp. The job remains unfilled.
2) The Waymo/Google suit on stolen driverless cars could easily take UBER down. Lyft meanwhile is surging forward with driverless car development.
3) UBER's scam by showing passengers one price and drivers another is moving forward on a nationwide basis. UBER has repeatedly spit on drivers and rips them
off at every opportunity. Burnout is as high as 70% a year.

4) UBER has made it where it is by breaking every law they can find everywhere they go. An article in the Harvard Business Review strongly recommended that UBER be shut down.
Here is the connundrum: UBER's bad boy former CEO Travis Kalanick is the king of the disrupters, a master criminal. That is not Dara Khosrowshahi's style. He is a mild mannered milquetoast guy who does not have the chutzpah or the cojones to continue the pattern of massive lawbreaking. He missed a massive profit opportunity by not going to surge pricing during the hurricanes in Texas and Florida.
UBER is losing $3.8 Billion annually on operations. The car leasing division has been shut down and several thousand employees laid off. Driverless car division is under court orders to stop all development.
With a law abiding weenie as CEO and no new laws to break anyway, UBER will soon implode financially. There is no other outcome.

MONKEY SEE - MONKEY DO
One can only imagine what bell tower the evil master criminal former UBER CEO
Travis Kalanick lurks in while he plans his next highly illegal and totally diabolical
move. Travis is a college dropout, schoolyard bully, male chauvinist pig and common
street criminal who used to sleep in his car. He has two corporate bankruptcies under his belt.
Then along comes Obama.
1) Dreamer Act (DACA). Totally illegal, never voted on by Congress
2) Obamacare- You can keep your doctor and plan, your premiums will go down, subsidies paid to insurance companies (In order to get them to play ball)
never approved by Congress
3) Wiretaps of Trump and all his campaign staff now being admitted by General Clapper, head of National Intelligence acting under direct orders from Obama.
So, Tricky Travis perks up and says, "Hey, this dude Obama knows how to play the game, I'm going to do what he does", and he did. And UBER got rich while Goldman Sachs(Who handles and launders all of UBER's money) ran interference and kept the regulators
and US Justice Department off UBER's back.
At some point you would hope that someone would stop these UBER liars, thieves, crooks,
lobbyists, schmucks and flagrant law breakers and drain the swamp. Maybe that someone
will be President Trump......

THE STATE OF TEXAS wants to hear from you for suggestions as to how the laws and rules governing UBER should be written. If you are from another state, be sure to email your thoughts and recommendations, especially information like 6,000 rapes, 5,000 UBER drivers disqualified by Massachusetts State Police, massive fraud and under paying of taxes due by UBER, etc. in your area.
