Libertarian Party of the Florida Keys Calls For Repeal of Uber Ban

Excerpt from a letter to the editor of The Blue Paper submitted by Steven Nekhaila:

In the United States, many cities have banned Uber under the influence of these zealous taxi drivers, the only difference between the two scenarios is the amount of bloodshed; it is considered civilized only to arrest our enemies using the force of government, something we would never do ourselves. This outsourcing of violence on the behalf of the taxi business only shows their own lack of ability or unwillingness to compete with Uber by providing cheaper fares, cleaner cars, and superior customer service, so they lobby the government to keep out the competition. It is the inability to adapt and the governments readiness to stifle innovation that leads to the greatest damage, the societal toll on progress.

The city of Key West’s criminalization of the Uber service directly effects the consumer, the entrepreneur and the spirit of the free market. The Libertarian Party of the Florida Keys vehemently opposes the cities nearsighted decision to ban Uber as well as any encroachments on voluntary consumer services or trade. We encourage concerned citizens to contact their city officials and demand a repeal of the Uber ban.

If you live in a city that has not imposed the Uber ban but have been unfortunate to be involved in an accident whilst using the Uber service, make sure when you make your claim that you contact a really good Personal Injury Claims lawyer so that you can be sure to maximize your settlement and get everything you deserve.
