So I've got a crazy question.... What happens when the Uber you are in gets creamed by a large truck type product?? Who's gonna pay for my hospital stay?? (And I'm assuming here, but don't regular Taxi companies have insurance coverage for such?) "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A. Heinlein “You may beat me, but you will never win.” sigmonkey-2020 “A single round of buckshot to the torso almost always results in an immediate change of behavior.” Chris Baker | |||

Shouldn't the goal be getting rid of the bribes? I prefer a cabbie who knows the city like the back of his hand in a clean well maintained car over a non local ride share driver relying on bogus google directions but reality is the old school cabbies are mostly gone, the cabs are busted and gross, and ride share is cheaper, easier, cleaner, and more efficient. The medallion mafia is like the recording industry was 20 years ago. They need to adapt or get replaced. | |||

Are politicians and bureaucrats likely to voluntarily shed their bread 'n butter? [/sarc off] "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

I get what you're saying about equity and same rules for all. But, on the other hand, how else can you open up the marketplace for competition? The medallion system is anti-free market as it serves to protect the current sellers from the influx of additional sellers which would tend to lower prices or better products. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Your medical insurance Co. But they'll try to get reimbursed by the person (or company) at fault. Serious about crackers | |||

That's the beauty of single payer insurance, doesn't matter who is at fault, the taxpayers will split your bill. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.
