Got my first political robocall from a commercial company (city hall, car)

Couldn't believe this. I got a robocall from Uber inveighing against possible City Council restrictions. At least Coca Cola had the decency not to harass me when Bloomberg was damning sugared sodas.

TV ads featuring smiling minorities, probably actors posing as drivers because Uber could not get many of these allegedly happy drivers, mostly Uber employees and car dealerships were all Uber could muster, to demonstrate at City Hall for recent Council hearing on proposed bill, and now robocalls? What next to avoid being regulated from an outfit that could outspend Bloomberg.

By yesterday I'd gotten my third robocall from Uber, and that pushed me over the edge. But in the opposite direction.

I called the City Council to provide feedback - something I've never done in all my years in NYC - and said that although I already had a negative opinion about Uber, their telephone harassment convinced me even more that they're an arrogant, pushy, greedy company and the Council should clamp down on them.

We got four calls from these people yesterday and several the day before.

I reported them on the "do not call" site.
