Uber is (still) a bezzle ("the magic interval when a confidence trickster knows he has the money he has appropriated but the victim does not yet understand that he has lost it"). And every bezzle - *every* bezzle - ends. 1/ A mammoth drowning in tar, ...

Uber entered the market with an absurd proposition, which they papered over with an *idiotic* narrative...which the world ate up with a spoon. 3/

Any time a government starts to make noises about regulating Amazon Marketplace to end its predatory and negligent management towards third-party sellers, the company trots out all kinds of apologists who claim that "Amazon is great for small businesses." 1/ An alligator in profile, with the Amazon 'smile' logo superi
