Marlene Garcia illustrate the demise of taxi drivers

Terry Blue
   Taxi drivers complaining about Uber and that their profits are down fifty percent were given a platform again in the media. Chicago Sun Times columnist Marlene Garcia had a column on taxis and ow their earn Gs are down so much as I pared to a few years back during their monopolistic regime. Before Uber and Lyft came along passengers needing a ride were restricted to a few crony Italian cab companies whose contributions to political campaigns far outweighed their investments into improving the passenger experience and industry. Marlene Garcia did admit that the rise of application based competitors are much better for the customer. These foreign taxi drivers make me laugh now that they complain about the new involvement of rich men into their monopoly and they thought little about the old system and bringing in these fools from Sudan and Afghanarabstan wrecked havoc on the traditional American taxi drivers who were pushed out of the taxi market. Boo hoo for Akkoc Tekin and his sore back. Marlene points out the struggles of this Turkey  from Turkey whose earnings have dropped but are still five times higher than what the jerk can earn in downtown Istanbul. Business is very very slow as this article points out but refuses to indulge into the reason for crappie rude service for generations that these unassimilated drivers and their low class hygienic habits and risky driving methods have rightfully earned an established and ostensible reputation.
