Sharing Economy Is No Threat to Cars, Einhorn Proclaims - Bloomberg

Das war’s dann mit dem Argument, #Carsharing würde die Anzahl der AUtos reduzieren helfen.

With #Uber Technologies Inc. attracting valuations $10 billion higher than General Motors Co., you may be forgiven for heeding whispers that the sharing economy will one day kill off legacy rivals in Detroit.

Greenlight Capital Inc. President David Einhorn, however, isn’t in a forgiving mood. He said the death of the car industry has been greatly exaggerated by the kind of people who don’t need a parking space.

“People who predict this tend to work in tall buildings,” he told a crowd of more than 3,000 at the Sohn Investment Conference in New York Wednesday, referring to urbanites who powered Uber’s ascension. Einhorn made his proclamation as he pitched Greenlight’s bullish position in GM. “We don’t think ride-sharing will have a material impact on auto sales for many years, if ever.”

His skepticism runs counter to surveys suggesting that one-fifth of Uber users are delaying buying a car because of the availability of the service. Yet at Sohn, fellow hedge fund manager John Khoury echoed Einhorn’s notion that the death of 20th-century industry players is far from certain.

Matt Damon Interrupts Successful Black Woman Filmmaker to Explain Diversity to Her

As a producer of Project Greenlight, Damon must have approved of the inclusion of this exchange. I’d like think that he decided to include it because showing himself being so incredibly wrong could be a lesson for other filmmakers. But the cynical side of me thinks it was included because he felt he had made his point well and wanted the world to hear it.

Zoe Quinn resubmitted her game, Depression Quest, to Greenlight recently so that it may be considered for distribution on Steam. It seems that the mere idea that a female developer could hope to have her game on Steam was enough for a bunch of online users, mostly from online bulletin board Wizardchan [Note: This wrongfully stated it was 4chan previously], to launch a harassment campaign against her.
The abuse has got so bad that Zoe has had to change her phone number after she received several sexually harassing phone calls.
