How is this the case? Multiculturalism is not necessarily a good thing.

I'm reminded of Thiel's The Diversity Myth. We no longer question whether some of these statements are true. Diversity is not necessarily a good thing and sometimes it can actually be detrimental by allowing for the tolerance of mediocre standards in a society.

Uber has provided enormous value to consumers everywhere. The efficiency Uber has brought to consumers greatly outweighs any perceived inefficiencies. I attribute it to the great leadership style of Travis Kalanick.

I think Travis receives a lot of backlash because of envy. Many a people think Uber is a stupidly simple idea that they themselves could have done and as such hate on Travis for doing it first, fast and well.
