   6 years ago in  Seattle considering imposing minimum fares on rideshares

  no. what actually happens is you create a class of virtual slave labor. drivers get paid peanuts. before "big government" came along and allowed unions, people worked 16 hour days 7 days a week in the mills. Including children.

  "The deal would mean the end of a costly effort by Uber to compete with Grab and an Indonesian-based motorcycle ride-hailing company, Go-Jek."

  So does this deal include Go Jek? I thought Grab and Go Jek were separate companies. Maybe this is just bad writing.
