The FTC, the Trump FTC, is suing Uber. Now, the allegation I'm going to quote is that Uber charged consumers for its Uber One subscription service without their consent, failed to deliver promise savings, and made it difficult for users to cancel the service. I want you to walk us through why you think the FTC might be a little bit aggressive in this case. I like what the FTC is doing with um cracking down on tactics. that are against consumer interests.

So obviously I'm long Uber, you know, I don't have to state that. But when I see like Wall Street Journal and it's impossible to unsubscribe, I've talked about it here countless times. I hate this stuff. It's infuriating. This week in Startups is brought to you by NetSuite.
