Jeb took Uber to a startup location in SF today.
He’s probably pardon Uber.
They may not retain those records.
They may just retain prior information, driver information, fare charges and payments from customers and to drivers, government and others.
Government can turn anything good into s***.
... a bureaucratic tussle...
...a regulatory agency demanding information...
...aggressive...
...belligerent....
....an immovable regulatory structure...
In other words, a liberal dream of a business killing nirvana.
I have always opposed the ADA. This is another reason to abandon both the federal and state versions.
You f-—ed up. You set up your business in California.
California Uber Alles.
Easy, leave California.
Why accessibility?
These are private operators, for the most part small-time. Uber can’t equip them, and they can’t equip themselves.
Do I detect the hidden hand of some taxi operators? Or limo companies?
California is in full self-immolation mode. The commies out here won’t be satisfied until they drive all the innovators and successful companies out of here. Then they’ll demand increases in income, property, and sales taxes to make up the gap in what the government takes in. Tesla bolting for Nevada to build its battery plant is only the beginning. Uber is now the fave target of the month.
The irony is that these California companies are mostly run by CEOs who enthusiastically support Dim candidates. Talk about self-loathing.
Uber is an app right? Nobody that drives or gets rides is employed by Uber right? Essentially it’s an app that lets those who need rides get connected with those who will give rides for a fee? Either the judge is clueless or in the unions pocket.
Why do I get the feeling Jeb will be left on the curb, or saddled with an Obama devotee?!
“An administrative law judge for the California Public Utilities Commission is ordering the popular ride service company to pay a $7.3 million dollar fine for not turning over information the regulators have requested.”
How come Lois Learner, Hillary Clinton and all the other Obama officials are not fined for doing the same thing?
California is imploding. The latest is the drought and severe water rationing, but the lefties just think Gaia is sad. I have a friend in northern Cali about halfway from SF to Sacto, and he says the feds are putting up section 8 housing in white suburbia like its going out of style. Crime rates have skyrocketted in those communities in just the last few years. Another one is going up in a very affluent Bay Area community in the east bay, but I’m not going to give them a heads-up so I can see their faces when they pull into the driveway from Trader Joes, only to find a mexican picking through their garbage, or an obama son scaling the backyard fence.
The state will crack down on entrepreneurial endeavors who are not paying obeisance to the state coffers.
“Accessibility information: the number and percentage of customers who requested accessible vehicles, and how often the company was able to comply with requests for accessible vehicles “
Your Honda FIT was not readily accessible by that family of 7 illegal immigrants.
No sympathy from me. Uber hired Plouffe. Screw ‘em.
Right there's your problem. It's an unnecessary and tyrannical layer of government not envisioned by the Founders. And it's eating our economy alive.
