Dave,
I am really surprised at you forwarding this self-serving claptrap.  Lyft and Uber are nothing more than scab taxi 
companies created to exploit their drivers by means that actual taxi companies are prevented from by law and union 
rules.  Ride sharing? yea, right! They are taxi companies existing on an euphemism.

Their only concern with the ban on immigrants is their own self-serving concern about their supply of low paid drivers. 
Just as the rest of Silicon Valley didn’t get concerned about Trump until their supply of H1Bs were threatened and 
their “trumped” up claim of a shortage of STEM workers.

Now that their supply of cheap labor is threatened they suddenly want to wrap themselves in the flag and play 
holier-than-thou. I for one am not buying it. Their time for showing that they stand for principle is long past.
