I mostly put that link here because I thought the article is worth reading and this thread made sense as a place to put it. Uber is a rather symbolic company in good ways and bad, so whether or not it's going to fail is I think an interesting question in itself.
I do have a personal dislike for this kind of business practice, but my personal decision to not use Uber is also very much connected to how I see the taxi system in Helsinki. (In other words: I don't think the taxi system in Helsinki needs disrupting that bad.)
I have no comments on how the taxis are like in Calgary and whether or not they need disrupting. I'm just throwing the info out there for those that are interested.
I mean, you can easily argue that driving with Uber equals is essentially helping stupid people with too much money waste their investments, and I can certainly get on board with that
