> The whole thing seems predicated on deregulation of industries that I honestly think should be regulated. In the case of Uber, in particular, the self-regulation they impose is much greater than the regulation that the government does, and accounts for a MUCH higher quality of service than the very heavily regulated taxi cabs. Maybe that doesn't work for every instance or every company, but the crowd-sourcing of relevant data seems, to me, a far more effective solution than the protectionist bureaucracy masquerading as regulation that exists.
