It's a shame a comment this logical and reasonable would get downvoted so hard.
If you don't like how a company operates, don't support that company. If you're heavily invested in that company, sell your shares and invest in a company that aligns more with your values.
These days everyone wants to go on a crusade for every single issue that comes up. They forget you have no real control or influence over what other people/entities do, you can only control what you do.
I mean, right off the bat it fundamentally misunderstands an investor's ability to just "pull" an investment, so I wouldn't consider the comment logical or reasonable.
You do realize that Uber is a private company and shareholders can't just "sell [their] shares," right? They most likely need board approval, from a board that is likely still controlled by the CEO.
Ok so I have been downwoted for "not understanding" that he just can't pull his investment.
Of course I understand that. But if you are a billionaire then you can do what you want. Put pressure on the board and threaten with lawsuits or something, in effect "pulling" your investment and support.
I mean nowhere in mitch's post do I see any concrete action he is going to take.
Typical, not ready to do anything that could maybe cost him.
