The author references the situation in New York City with Uber.

What he didn't mention is that Uber is now working with the NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission to shut down Lyft's operations in the city. As a side note, New York City is one of the only places I've seen where an Uber ride is more expensive than a regular taxi for the most common rides (from airports, for example).

See what happens when these companies that shovel out these "freedom and liberty" platitudes in their PR campaigns become dominant players in the market? They all become crony capitalists at the end of the day.

That’s the argument for downsizing government for a government that picks winners & losers is a threat to freedom.

I agree that crony capitalism is a serious threat as well to our wll-being.
