      True, but this the second time they went about it in such an amateur (and illegal) way. Mostly a story of US executives not caring about the rest of the world being different.

      Which is, of course, not a surprise given Uber’s general attitude towards regulation

      Someone gotta do the gold digging, but that’s a very one-dimensional view of what a successful country is and does ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          Ah, so you're trashing the country you're earning your living in AND the company you worked at for five years. A very loyal viewpoint! For me but not for thee!

          Is your point that the US may be better for you specifically, but not for the average person? If so, curious on what metric you think would capture best this average welfare?

          Yes, the US has a higher financial upside for me than the Netherlands, but the life of a person with below average means is way worse.

      Loading seems to be taking a while.
