After reading your comment I had an image of a New York City cab driver and his medallion and the meter, him looking over his shoulder saying “Welcome back” as he hits the meter.
- gonzo41 4y agoThat guy is bankrupt and homeless now. His medallion was worthless because of uber and the large loan he took to get it ruined his life. etc etc.
- theplumber 4y ago>> That guy is bankrupt and homeless now. His medallion was worthless Good riddance! The reason why people rushed to uber was that the taxi services were so bad. You can still see people near the taxi station/taxi cars waiting for uber. Wonder why... That being said it looks like, unfortunately, the taxi industry is not over yet.
- gonzo41 4y agoGood riddance to that person?
- wussboy 4y agoYup. My slavish devotion to “personal responsibility” means I can’t even understand how decisions made at a corporation, insulated from the very personal responsibility I care so much about and powered by unlimited piles of cash can run human lives.
- s0rce 4y agoThe broken system and the shitty service it provided to customers.
- mjburgess 4y agoBy the transitive property of riddance
- throwawaymaths 4y agoHomeless is an exaggeration. That guy is just bankrupt now. I don't understand why it took so long for many of those medallion holders to declare bankruptcy, though. I suspect it's because they are often immigrants from cultures where bankruptcy (or the equivalent) is associated with shame... In the US, bankruptcy is (or should be) associated with freedom. The real asshole is the $TAXI guy. I wonder what happened to him.
