    Looks like the French are going for the record. Not super surprising. http://goo.gl/1Y7wgT https://twitter.com/paulg/status/222462460978937856 …

    Uber is so obviously a good thing that you can measure how corrupt cities are by how hard they try to suppress it.

        @paulg Strange definition of corrupt. Instead of pushing for regulation modernization, they just cut deals with city officials here in BKK.

        @paulg I'm no supporter of the taxi monopoly. Still, I can't support a "disruptive" system that blatantly ignores workers' rights and laws.

        @paulg you are totally right. If it wasn't better, people wouldn't choose it instead of taxies.
