    True but Im not a fan of coorperatism where multi-billion dollar companies can forcefully outprice smaller companies without making any profit just for the sake of bail the other company out.

    We have no free markets but coorperations that influence politics for their own intrests.

    Precisely. This is where something like Uber could have come in handy: tearing up one monopoly.

    But Uber seems to be just another multi-national big business.

    This is a video from their protests:

    Yes,most taxi drivers are Greeks,although Athens is also full of Albanians,and a few times I have come across Pakistanis and even Indian Sikhs,just like the movies filmed in New York

    But having a plurality of such businesses that destroy each other while competing in their never ending wars for the customer could be a game changer.

    It seems like they have a free ride here. I have never used their services:



    Apparently banned only in Denmark, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria.
