France is one of the most over-regulated places in the world which is why it has chronic 10% unemployment.

Was there ever any doubt it would ban an innovation like uber?

A silly law that cannot be enforced leading to a huge black market,,,

The reason why America always was and remains exceptional.

Uber app is awesome. Best thing since GPS.

Why did we save the French twice?

Ok, I can understand once for 1776...

Until Uber assures insurance coverage for all drivers it is destined for failure.

It will be either by law or lawsuits.

I guess they’ll turn to the “uber underground”...

If I were a woman getting out of a bar at 2am, I know that I certainly wouldn’t want to get into a car with a professional taxi driver whose only interest was in getting me home as safely and quickly as possible so that he could move on with the rest of the bar rush. I would much rather get into a car with some kid who is out cruising on a Saturday night looking for shortys. He may not have any clue what he is doing (or insurance for that matter), but hey, he’s got GPS (something professional taxi drivers don’t have), and that’s really all that’s important. And if the guy spends the entire trip trying to get into my pants, well, that’s a small price to pay to save 6 bucks, right?
