It may open the door to a period in politics that is uncertain at best or become violent at worst. But the Coronavirus

“It’s not always the troops that storm the beaches who are the right ones to set up the government,” said Steve Vassallo from Foundation Capital about the resignation of founder Travis Kalanick from Uber.
