But Uber succeeded in making lawbreaking normal and routine by celebrating its subversion of the laws relating to taxi services. Look at the company’s stated values <https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/mar/07/uber-work-culture-travis-...> — “super-pumped,” “always be hustlin’,” and “bold.” Respect for the law barely merits a footnote.

Yet the company’s mounting <http://www.uberscandals.org/> scandals reveal something seriously amiss, culminating in last week’s stern report <https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1s08BdVqCgrUVM4UHBpTGROLXM/view> from former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
