Yes, Trump's executive order is really shitty. It hurts good people while doing nothing to reduce real threats from real bad guys.

Kalanick is also really shitty. He legitimizes Trump by collaborating with him. It's complete bullshit that he's going to somehow influence this administration "from within".

Kalanick's collaboration does far more damage than any marginal influence he might have.

If Kalanick really wants to "stand up for what's right", he should publicly resign from Trump's "economic advisory group" in protest over this latest outrage.
