Uber's boon was market homogenisation. But to achieve that they had to bribe consumers AND policymakers with VC funds. It will either result in (a) decompositions via geographically linked spin-offs of operations, or (b) long-term public sector bailout via concessions+IPO with institutional investors taking a large % of the float. Maybe both. :)

- (a) well, 2018, this happened
- (b) 2019, this happened
Still looking out on my hypothesis that nationalisation will help Uber to exit certain markets.
