Francis recently finished his third semester studying for a master's degree in international security and economic policy, and he sounds like an economist talking about Uber's impact on the market.

"Everywhere Uber is, it thrives," he said. "The resistance comes from taxi drivers who don't want to get beat out, because they know they can't compete. Which is funny to me, because in no other aspect of American culture are you allowed to stifle capitalism."

Well he doesn’t sound like an economist that is terribly knowledgeable about the US economy.

I can name quite a few professions in our economy where capitalism is similarly stifled.

Barbers, nail salons, dental hygienist, legal aids.

The list could go on and on. All of these people are restricted in their economic opportunities by needless regulations.
