You guys heard of Turo?

On a side note, I wouldn't imagine swimming pools in NZ to be a "thing"...

People pee in the pool; right?
I don't know how to swim, but rumors from the male-only pool next door is that it's full of piss. And I won't pay a lot to attend swimming classes in pee pools.

I just like drinking my own piss only!

Me too!

Anything that disrupts major companies is cool with me. Actually, monopolies getting angry at independent competition is fantastic.

Problem these "disruptors" are acting in a monopolistic function. First they loss lead at a massive loss to destroy competition (often able to do so because of massive overvaluation of their stocks), then they start squeezing their staff (by making them contractors with no holiday, social welfare payment entitlements, sick pay, paying them less than it costs to do their job, &c.), and finally once the market is captured hard enough, by massively jacking up prices in the safe knowledge as the only operator in an area people will pay these jacked up prices.

And all this is done while operating out of an offshore tax haven, often Dublin or London, ensuring no taxes are ever paid.
