"Uber's new chief executive (Dara Khosrowshahi) has taken a strikingly different tone vs founder Travis Kalanick, saying he wants to work with cities and local authorities, rather than fight them."
Translated: it takes a lot of money to grease a lot of palms when changing the hearts & minds of politicians who have you by the balls.
Outcome: Uber will find more ways to pilfer driver pay so they can afford to buy off corrupt politicians.
