It's quite common for revolutionaries to get carried away and end up on the guillotine themselves. I was extremely supportive of Uber when it was getting off the ground because I loathed the taxi monopoly, but since Uber has a) shown little regard for anything beyond its own profitability and b) is hellbent on becoming a monopoly of its own, I feel no sympathy for their current woes.

tl;dr Fuck 'em.
