My "ax to grind" is against any dirty company, dirty organization, dirty government, etc. I just posted a link. Uber did what it did. If that is negative it is because Uber did something negative. It is obvious Uber is a dirty company in many ways. Why shouldn't that be pointed out when they have a large presence in this area?

Just curious about your big issue with Uber as if you're going to grind an ax about every dirty company and especially every dirty government, you're going to run out of axes.

Can you read? Go to Google and do a news search. Uber is the poster child for how to be a dirty company.

Burying your head in the sand is why we have so many problems in this area and this country.

There are a lot of dirty companies and governments. Yours is just more personal in regards to Uber so I simply asked why.

Their business practices are either illegal or very close to the line. The corporate culture is toxic. There rates are lower because they are pricing below cost and losing incredible amounts of money as a result. They even use a program to ripoff their own drivers. I am glad you approve of that?!?

Many companies are reported to use unfair business practices.

Many companies are reported to not treat their workers fairly.

Many companies are reported to have a toxic work environment.

Nobody is forcing anyone to work for Uber or any other company for that matter.

You obviously have a personal issue with Uber.

I appreciate their service so I'll use them until a better alternative comes along.
