In good news from Uruguay, it is huge, many people say, and I am grinning

GRIN is leaving Uruguay. GRIN is the business that has been littering many lands with loosely-controlled and often out-of-control electric scooters.

Grin arrived in Montevideo in February 2019. Subsequently, Lime and Movo also moved in. The sidewalks (always a challenge in the city) became littered with both poorly parked and moving monopatines (scooters). The community pushed back; in December the government took action, resulting in reduced profits motivating Movo and Lime to leave. Now GRIN goes.

Some businesses can not survive in regulated societies.

1. Uruguay

Was posted in Uruguay for 4 years while in the US Foreign Service, and though a small Nation, it has one of the highest traditions of democracy and good governance in the World. Except for a brief military dictatorship during the 1970s, its democratic traditions go back 150 years, a truly amazing for that part of the World.

2. Interesting information. Article said there had been plans to create special space for them...

Looking forward to the day they can take this idea and develop it further. It's not something to discard, is it?

Thank you.
