Taxi cab medallions are a very poor example to cite.
"Things are bad where I am, and therefore it's OK for the tech bros to eviscerate an entire industry all around the planet, no matter what the local conditions were elsewhere."
Your experience is not the only experience. It does not justify what has been done. Your post only provides an yet another random angry anecdote, of which the internet is already flooded.
- nradov 2y agoThere's nothing wrong with eviscerating entire industries worldwide. That has been the way that disruptive innovations worked since the start of the industrial age. Adapt or perish.
