Once upon a time, Courtney Love went to France, where taxi drivers are protesting Uber. On Instagram, she documented an encounter, during which she said she was held hostage for over two hours. This is her story:

According to the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation, there are nine franchise taxi operators in the city who operate “more than 2300 taxis.” What they don’t point out on the website is that these 2300 taxis are magic and invisible. They supposedly exist, but they’re hiding somewhere in plain sight, probably with that stockpile of nice, tall, well-adjusted, employed, and single men in LA.
