It only worked for Uber because they provided a valuable service that consumers loved and because the law was corrupt in the first place.
I do not care that rich people who spent millions on a medallion, only to rent it out to actual workers, are losing money.
The self made man taxi driver, is a rare exception, not the rule. The people who own these medallions are rich taxi companies, that then force workers to pay them rent. Good riddance.
