And then we just tax Uber and their robotics-generated revenue (note I said revenue, not profit; profit can be gamed).<p>That&#x27;s what Hacker News doesn&#x27;t get. You&#x27;re not entitled to a profit. You&#x27;re not entitled to &quot;disrupt&quot;. And if we change laws so you squeeze technology-heavy companies in order to support people displaced who no longer can find jobs, that&#x27;s how it goes (does &quot;eminent domain&quot; ring a bell? if intellectual property is &quot;property&quot;, what stops taking that?).<p>You can serve bits from anywhere. Physical infrastructure? Good luck profiting off of that from another jurisdiction.<p>EDIT: HN, you make me chuckle. A US court is about to slam the hell out of Uber for violating labor law, and everyone here is up in arms about how their match-driver-to-passenger unicorn couldn&#x27;t possibly be required to bow to &quot;mere mortal&quot; law.
