That's a brilliant plan. Lets wipeout thousands of jobs and billions in investment equity because... you know "karma". And for what? Because they have to play hardball in a field drowning in entrenched money interests?
As for this particular case, I have to say it seems a little strange to me that Anthony Levandowski could just leave Google and start his own company, Otto, with Google's intellectual property. No one complained then. But when Uber buys Otto, now it's a problem. One has to wonder who is playing who exactly?
Uber can play hardball with its competitors in reason like how it destroys and steamrolls the old taxi industry yet it's gone too far when it streamrolls over everyone who is not a Travis Kaladick bro!!!
From its customers to its drivers to journalists to etc and etc they treat all the same ...like garbage. That's because its CEO let his ego blow up(forgot humility and being thankful for the luck he's be given) and hopefully soon it will blow up in his face!!!
Also when and if Uber falls others who play fair will take over! I.e. All Uber drivers will make an exodus to Lyft!!!
