True that. I do not want to live in a city where I cant access Uber with the same ease as my current city.

Actually the more telling thing is that it isn't "Ad blockers" it is "Privacy Enhancers" the only thing I've got running is Privacy Badger and Forbes won't let me in, so that is the end of my online relationship with Forbes.
