Uber is sitting on a giant pile of cash but you're right - they haven't raised prices.

They cut rates instead.

That's because Travis Kalahnik is a dick.

The Uber model doesn't just not translate, the Uber model doesn't work. The startups are exploding; Pando rails about it every day. Party's over, everybody go back to work. All that's left is the tawdry confessionals and discount Aeron chairs.
