It's nice to win the battle, but the war of over regulation and crony capitalism is far from over. We need to elect representatives that understand that markets work, that change is good, and that not every existing interest should be protected by the government for eternity.
- noarchy 14y agoI cheer for that possibility, but the outlook is gloomy. The taxi industry is so heavily regulated in many major cities, that they might as well make the drivers government employees. The supply of medallions/plates are very limited (drivers don't even own the car, in many cases, having to lease from one of the cartel members that have a medallion), and they often can't set their own fares. It has to be one of the least-free markets in North America.
