and although i'm not currently effected being many states away, i'm disappointed as well.
if nothing else, i wanted to see it fail for the incredible sums they spent to get their way. but i'm most concerned about the overarching changes it will inherently bring to labor rules and increasing corporate greed in all of our futures.
something did need to be done about the taxi industry, but it bothers me that uber/lyft are making the claim that they can't be sustainable if they have to do things as every other company is/was already required to comply with. if the only way for any company to be viable is to cheat the system and flaunt established regulations, it's not all that much of a viable option in the first place...
a little good news though, massachusett's right to repair law/loophole that GM was running a seriously negative campaign against, passed with 75% approval to allow others access to the data:

again, most of us aren't directly affected by it, but had it failed, i was concerned about the concept gaining a foothold for the rest of the country. because it passed, there's already speculation that it will help uphold existing right-to-repair regulations across the rest of the country.
