        Buckle up—coming soon: continuing to make it easy for riders to be sexually assaulted.

        Just for clarification, you're saying if someone is sexually assaulted bc Uber doesn't do proper checks, it's their fault for using Uber?

        Not at all. I'm saying that if you or anyone has a problem with Uber returning to Austin, simply don't use Uber

        I have an issue with Abbott trampling on local democracy, since Austin residents voted on Prop 1.

        Valid, although I think many other Austinites (and UT students) who want more ridesharing options downtown wouldn't mirror your concern

        You'd be surprised. Most people I know want Uber back BUT want them to follow the safety regulations we voted for.

        And don't worry that Uber's background checks are weak so as to make it easier to find drivers. And cities: The center is where power is.

        Why would Uber want bad drivers, that would be against there long term interests. Your logic doesn't make sense.

        They just don't care about being as rigorous as they aren't employees. More important to staff up easily

        They do care. Do you think they like the bad press when a driver goes rouge? No background check ensures drivers will continue being good.

        Cost / benefit. Car companies hate bad press of recalls or fatal defects. But does the cost of fixing outweigh the penalty?

        Always have to balance cost vs benefit. Uber said that FP check isn't any better than a name, DL, SSN, insurance, Reg. & bank acct check.

        Yes and tobacco companies said cigarettes don't cause cancer, and the Koch's "doubt" climate change. Economic interests shape beliefs.

        And 'fear" shapes Political opinions. Id rather have the facts shape my opinions.

        So much for less government, and local rule of law, huh? I can see that you're #notreallyconservative unless it suits your interests.
