When Austin gave its citizens the task to make a decision, they voted against uber/lyft, and now both companies have left the city. Currently feeling like we shouldn't give more voting power to citizens on everyday issues, since the media and lobbies can get people to do crazy things like give up easy cheap and safe rides.
Funny how any time a vote goes your way it's democracy, but any time it goes the other way it's "the media" and "special interests" and "lobbyists" that perverted the system. I am extremely pro-Uber, but wasn't Uber's own marketing partly to blame for the outcome of that vote?
And yet you're expected to follow them. All of them. Ignorance is no excuse and lack of criminal intent is no defense.
We've got a bigger problem here than how the votes are cast.
