The Snaring Economy 1

A Danish court realizes that running a for-profit gypsy cab outfit is not “sharing,” even if you do with your iJunk:

It is now expected that Friday’s ruling will clear the way for cases to proceed against an additional 40 Uber drivers who have been charged with violating taxi laws.

    Any place that chooses to run Uber out of town is having a good day. Paradoxically, any country with a government so enamored of predatory capitalism that it has all the regulatory power of a failed state like Somalia is perfect for Uber.
