Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
Wait, the multinational gay sex corporations are engaged in unethical behavior? Governments as well?
This is an absolute scandal…!
A leaked trove of confidential files has revealed the inside story of how the tech giant Uber flouted laws, duped police, exploited violence against drivers and secretly lobbied governments during its aggressive global expansion.
The unprecedented leak to the Guardian of more than 124,000 documents – known as the Uber files – lays bare the ethically questionable practices that fuelled the company’s transformation into one of Silicon Valley’s most famous exports.
The leak spans a five-year period when Uber was run by its co-founder Travis Kalanick, who tried to force the cab-hailing service into cities around the world, even if that meant breaching laws and taxi regulations.
During the fierce global backlash, the data shows how Uber tried to shore up support by discreetly courting prime ministers, presidents, billionaires, oligarchs and media barons.
Leaked messages suggest Uber executives were at the same time under no illusions about the company’s law-breaking, with one executive joking they had become “pirates” and another conceding: “We’re just fucking illegal.”
Based.
The cache of files, which span 2013 to 2017, includes more than 83,000 emails, iMessages and WhatsApp messages, including often frank and unvarnished communications between Kalanick and his top team of executives.
In one exchange, Kalanick dismissed concerns from other executives that sending Uber drivers to a protest in France put them at risk of violence from angry opponents in the taxi industry. “I think it’s worth it,” he shot back. “Violence guarantee[s] success.”
In a statement, Kalanick’s spokesperson said he “never suggested that Uber should take advantage of violence at the expense of driver safety” and any suggestion he was involved in such activity would be completely false.
The leak also contains texts between Kalanick and Emmanuel Macron, who secretly helped the company in France when he was economy minister, allowing Uber frequent and direct access to him and his staff.
Macron, the French president, appears to have gone to extraordinary lengths to help Uber, even telling the company he had brokered a secret “deal” with its opponents in the French cabinet.
Privately, Uber executives expressed barely disguised disdain for other elected officials who were who were less receptive to the company’s business model.
After the German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, who was mayor of Hamburg at the time, pushed back against Uber lobbyists and insisted on paying drivers a minimum wage, an executive told colleagues he was “a real comedian”.
When the then US vice-president, Joe Biden, a supporter of Uber at the time, was late to a meeting with the company at the World Economic Forum at Davos, Kalanick texted a colleague: “I’ve had my people let him know that every minute late he is, is one less minute he will have with me.”
After meeting Kalanick, Biden appears to have amended his prepared speech at Davos to refer to a CEO whose company would give millions of workers “freedom to work as many hours as they wish, manage their own lives as they wish”.
The Guardian led a global investigation into the leaked Uber files, sharing the data with media organisations around the world via the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). More than 180 journalists at 40 media outlets including Le Monde, Washington Post and the BBC will in the coming days publish a series of investigative reports about the tech giant.
In a statement responding to the leak, Uber admitted to “mistakes and missteps”, but said it had been transformed since 2017 under the leadership of its current chief executive, Dara Khosrowshahi.
The article goes on into various other criminal types of activity, but it’s pretty standard stuff. It’s not like this isn’t happening everywhere, in every industry.
What is amazing is that The Guardian somehow manages to not mention the implications of Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron working for Uber in this way. Why were they doing it? Well, obviously, they were doing it for money. It’s very standard operations, but leaked documents proving that the two heads of state were doing pay-to-play with a corporation engaged in crimes should be pretty outrageous, no?
Boris Johnson was just forced to resign because… some guy got drunk at a party and touched people in a way that made them feel uncomfortable and he didn’t fire the guy…?
We are supposed to believe that is worse than pay-to-play?
But again – the media that is reporting on Macron and Biden doing these deals is not even using the term “pay-to-play,” just like they were avoiding the term “human shields” in relation to the Ukrainian practice of installing missile systems in resisdential neighborhoods and then not allowing the residents to evacuate.
This is a thing that happens a lot – the media will describe something that happened without mentioning the implications of it, without using accepted terminology, and just expect it to float over your head. Apparently it does float over people’s heads.
Well, Americans are ridiculous. The media has confirmed the Hunter Biden laptop now, which has pay-to-play with all kinds of shady businesses in the Ukraine, and even in the enemy nation of China, and just – nothing happens.
It’s possible in France that this Uber scandal will have more serious fallout for Macron, given that the French are more aware of what is happening in general, and they really hated Uber. They actually had anti-Uber riots.
But if Americans won’t do anything about what Joe Biden has already done, they’re not going to do anything about him getting bossed around by the head of Uber in a pay-to-play scandal at Davos.
They’ll just get fatter and masturbate to more tranny porn.
If Uber gets called out, they will just say “yeah but we support rimjobs and fisting” and Americans will just be like “oh well, in that case, I guess we’re cool.”
