Uber's CEO:We must work with President Trump.

http://money.cnn.com/2017/01/25/technology/uber-ceo-trump/index.html

At the company's weekly all hands meeting, CEO Travis Kalanick addressed concerns about his working relationship with Trump by claiming it's necessary in order to fulfill Uber's mission of improving global transportation.
"We'll partner with anyone in the world as long they're about making transportation in cities better, creating job opportunities, making it easier to get around, getting pollution out of the air and traffic off the streets," Kalanick told employees.

Bye bye Uber for moi. I will give my money to taxi drivers that are you know ha-immigrants in regular cab companies. YES it costs more. It's the price of doing the right thing.

It'll be easy to boycott them.

On edit:
"We'll partner with anyone in the world as long they're about making transportation in cities better, creating job opportunities, making it easier to get around, getting pollution out of the air and traffic off the streets,"

No matter how many people are discriminated against, banned, registered or oppressed! What a dick.

Uber and Lyft are associated in some way though I don't know how. My son is a part-time Uber driver but also a Lyft driver. I'll have to ask my son about it.
