Don't let someone acting aggressively get that close to you, wow. The headbutt is hilarious though.
Charleston-based CEO Bryan Kobel, 45, canceled a ride home from a French restaurant, Maison, in April because the driver refused to take his service dog, Kobel told The Post on Thursday.
If that's what the fight was about, thanks, I hate it. Even when the customer is a bitch, that comes with the territory, and you don't get to assault them. You're not owed their business.
“The next thing I know, I’m waking up in a hospital bed with seven staples in my head and four stitches,” Kobel said.
If true...yeah, that's not fucking good.
In the weeks that followed, Kobel struggled to remember words and stumbled over phrases due to his brain injury.
Brutal, hope it's not permanent. Sounds like it's at least improving, or maybe even completely better, though.
and soon learned from cops the driver had gotten the Uber job with a fake license, he said...
“Uber has to take more accountability for its drivers,” he said...
Kobel is now suing Uber for unspecified financial damage — but his ultimate goal is to get the company to better protect its riders, he said.
“Uber hides behind a thin veil of legalese to protect their riders,” he said. “Frankly, it’s fake.”
“The company needs to make substantial changes on how it protects riders,” he said.
While I'm completely in favor of stopping companies from hiring illegals, given all the other shit that's going on - especially the online ID nonsense - I'm rather suspicious of all these pushes against companies that are intended to bring them under further control of consolidated powers.
Illegals need to go, and companies need to be held accountable, but it needs to be done in such a way that doesn't strip people (or even companies) of certain rights and freedoms.
I do worry about some of the directions that things seem to be being pushed at the moment. Seems like no matter what the issue is, the answer is more top-down control. That has always been the case - of course the government likes more government power - but it seems to have ramped up in a big way recently.
It seems like our overlords are intent on turning us into China, and that's rather worrying.
I'm just worried about implementation, because the government so often manages to make everything even worse.
Not to mention harder to compete. Not that anyone would be able to anyway, but any regulation is just going to further cement the existing companies' control over the sector. Because that's always how it goes.
There's a lot going on here, LOL.

Taxi drivers have to present valid licenses, why should Uber be exempt just because they have an app?
Taxi drivers have been pulling the same scam with medallions for years.
Did I say they shouldn't?
