Taxi Drivers Protest Uber in Clashes Across France
- paulhauggis 11y agoSo are we finally going to agree that not all unions are good for society?
- MichaelCrawford 11y agoNo. I support the taxi drivers.
- paulhauggis 11y agoYou support a group that has had a broken business model for decades and the only reason it continues on is because of thug-like tactics like this. Changing society for the better and unions generally don't mix. Unions prevent technological advancements and many times are just as big and corrupt as any corporation.
- davidf18 11y agoEfficient markets are important. Charging $270,000 for a taxi license makes for market inefficiencies resulting in fewer taxis and higher fares which are both bad for customers. Uber simply and justifiably gets around those market inefficiencies increasing taxi availability and lowering prices which is good for customers.
