UBER CEO Leaves Trump Council
quote:
SAN FRANCISCO — Travis Kalanick, chief executive of Uber, plans to step down from President Donald J. Trump’s economic advisory council, according to an email that the executive sent to employees on Thursday that was obtained by The New York Times.
“Earlier today I spoke briefly with the president about the immigration executive order and its issues for our community,” Mr. Kalanick wrote. “I also let him know that I would not be able to participate on his economic council. Joining the group was not meant to be an endorsement of the president or his agenda but unfortunately it has been misinterpreted to be exactly that.”
Mr. Kalanick has faced criticism from Uber employees and customers for saying he would continue to engage with Mr. Trump after the president’s executive order banning refugees and others from seven Muslim-majority countries.

He had to. Lyft has benefitted immensely from all of this.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that he doesn't regret starting Uber.

Remind us how many times our supreme leader has filed for bankruptcy, you know, a business model most dream of accomplishing.

Not saying he does. Just pointing out the reason for his situation.

He's an idiot.
The primary opposition that his company's business model faces is Democrat politicians in urban centers that want to run Uber out of town and away from major airports at the behest of the Teamster cab drivers.

Four. What's your point? shite happens all the time in business ventures. Something tells me you have yet to experience that.

Well it is headquartered in SF.
It's either continue having a successful business or face protests and boycotts.

He needs to step down for refusing to put tipping in the app.

Four times out of over 515 businesses he has owned. A 99.9% success rate sounds good to me.

So his success rate that you randomly made up, is twice as high as his approval ratings. Interesting.
Of those 515 businesses he has (key word) "owned," how many of those did he sell off to prevent further bankruptcy files?

And liberals will continues to say Trump is rail roaring things through, while abandoning the post Trump reached out to them to fill.

You asked.
Please tell us.
Obviously you know, right?
Talking points are a mother f'er when someone brings facts, right?

Nice deflection. Don't wade out in the water on something that could come back at you asking for specifics if you don't have specifics. It's a good way to get your arse snagged in a bear trap as just happened to you.

Four times

This is what it looks like when a company is about to get crushed throughout most of the US
