Google  spinoff Alfabet are due to announce they are investing ONE BILLION DOLLARS in LYFT ridesharing app .Puts the 400jobs UBER were promising in Ireland in the halfpenny place .Will Google/Lyft /Alfabet lobby the Irish government for rideshare ?

Hope You are right Merc .Google grew by being vultures buying up smaller tec firms then using their Might and brand to push the tec.

Lyft have a good reputation in the US..Lyft already tried to open up here about 4 years ago and they were told to get lost.

[The Liffey Lip]

Right so. Bloomberg??? Ya beedin' economist ya!

I'd say they're just trying to scare off any other investors touching Uber.Nobody has more money than Google.Which ever team they back wins in the end.Bye bye Uber.

Google would be hard to up-end alright. Maybe Jeremy Clarkson and Amazon might be able to throw a sly roundhouse to Google's temple.

Anyway, I'd be certain Travis wouldn't be stuck for a Double-Whopper if he was hungry.

Amazon dont make an profit .They are just growing and growing and growing until they are so big they control the whole sales market with only bespoke stores competing for trade .Allibaba in China are doing the same ..Google have reached their peak and have cash on hand they have seen off Yahoo and even IBM for search engines we now say Google It when me really mean investigate it .

I was acting the fool, John...yrs of practise.

I'd say he's been pocketing investor money from the start.Either way he's toxic and so  is Uber.Now the work begins to demonize Lyft and others..There's not much difference between them really.

Demonize ? If they offer the PUC and no waiting time and offer non Opt In promotions   reply properly to your Emails .It would be hard to Deamonize them when that is the Industry standard they ave to beat .
