Why Uber Can’t Be Fixed And Must Be Shut Down

<p>On Jan. 13, 2015, around 70 of Portland's 460 Taxi cabs protested fair taxi laws by parking in Pioneer square.

The problem at Uber goes beyond a culture created by toxic leadership. The company’s cultural dysfunction, it seems to me, stems from the very nature of the company’s competitive advantage: Uber’s business model is predicated on lawbreaking. And having grown through intentional illegality, Uber can’t easily pivot toward following the rules.
