    Now the left is demanding a boycott against Uber, because they had the audacity to offer people rides to and from JFK airport... rather than refusing to drive in order to boost the protests.

    Uber sent out a tweet saying that since cabs were not performing rides, that Uber would suspend surge pricing so that people wouldn't get screwed over with huge fares.

    After massive backlash, the Uber CEO went public with an apology.

    Did they have a permit to protest? Pretty sure thats required. If I am a bad guy subject to arrest for breaking arbitrary laws then I want everyone else held to that same standard. Send the ****ing SWAT teams into these airports and arrest the criminals. Dont forget to shoot anyone who makes any sudden movements too.

    Talk about nailing it, and being intellectually honest, even if it's not popular: NYTWA squares Uber, but doesn't fail to criticize Lyft, which (while ever-so-slightly fairer to its "independent contractor" workers than Uber) is nonetheless no less problematic just because it (quite opportunistically) pledged to donate a large sum to the ACLU:

    Their "independent contractors" aren't too many steps removed, at least in terms of the compensations and worker-protections they're afforded—though at least they're not (yet?) legally "owned".

    i must have missed where it said that in the Amendment

    and i would even take it a step further that if i was a strict interpreter of the document any law saying you need a permit is unconstitutional cause the permit would fall under "Congress shall make no law"

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
