"Go Disrupt Yourself"

"In a region as full of liberals as the Bay Area, that just doesn't seem fair. But even worse, it seems like a bizarre perversion of the notion that 'the Internet' 'democratizes' access to everything. What’s happening with the new scalping apps is not democratization. It's the exact opposite—it's market-based class stratification. Who do Monkey Parking and ReservationHop work best for? Easy: the people who are making lots of money building the tech economy. These are apps for satisfying a sense of entitlement."
