California Becomes First State In Nation To Regulate Ride-Sharing

Virtucon writes "Ride Sharing Services such as Uber, Lyft and Sidecar received a big boost today when the California Public Utilities Commission approved rules that would allow them to continue to operate as long as they followed a few rules. This makes California the first state to adopt such rules and is expected to preempt local governments who are trying to clamp down on these services and regulate them like local taxi companies."

Every time I see a Hummer I start shooting my AK-47 at it, throwing bombs, and yelling "Allahu Akhbar!"
