Put it all together, and what you have here is a hot war against ridesharing. And to what end? Everyone knows: to get more money for the airport authority and preserve the status quo against innovation. It’s pretty simple at this point. But at what cost? Every Atlanta resident suffers. Visitors to the city get the impression that we are a reactionary city, afraid of progress. Poor people in Atlanta are denied an awesome job. People are discouraged from using nights and weekends to earn a few extra bucks.
