“The U.S. isn’t exactly a ‘free market’, with outright bribery — condoned by the U.S. judicial system — or collusive public-private cartels leading to some products and services being banned from the market. Just ask Tesla Motors Inc. (TSLA) whose electric vehicles have been banned from sale in many states. That debacle arose due to the fact that Tesla has no dealerships and fearful dealership lobbyists banded together to pay off state politicians to ban direct auto sales. Now the same principle is being applied to stymie the emergency of another set of companies in the transportation sector — cloud-driven ride-sharing services.”
