    okay you are obviously taking this far too literally, obviously they could make an app, but the apps could not survive and exist because the competition would undersell them, paid for with investor money.

    do you see what i’m trying to get through to you yet? everyone is saying “well the apps are better!” when the reality is that the big investor backed corporations like uber pushed all the smaller taxi firms out with uncompetitive price undercutting, they didn’t die out because they didn’t have an app, they couldn’t survive with an app or without - they couldn’t make that app to make you happy because you’d still pick the 20% cheaper one anyway

      Well yes, I read what you said as you wrote it. I can’t infer very well over text.
