As a result of the recent investigation of Uber in the USA they currently do not have a COO, CFO, CMO, President, or even a CEO. All were fired over corporate ethics, and the fact that it loses more money than pretty much any company in the USA, except for some gigantic energy companies that speculate about energy futures.
We get it, you don't like Uber. Independent of the company itself, though, the service is clearly valuable to a lot of people or Uber wouldn't be causing the problems in the industry that it does. Yes, it makes a dent in entrenched interests, but there's clearly a problem that Uber is addressing in the market or they wouldn't have the passenger numbers that they do. Even if you don't like Uber, something needs to change, and that change isn't limited to simply banning Uber and similar services.
