Syndicated columnist Richard Cohen worried about the ruination of immigrant taxi drivers who take out huge loans and work around the clock to pay off the loans for their medallions. he was talking about the political victory Uber had with new York and the De Blassio administration that was fighting hard to keep the dollars of the taxi industry from being damaged by this competition. Cohen doesn't realize it is the reason of these bizarre eccentric drivers why more and more professionals prefer the Uber method and learning on who is going to be their driver than randomly taking some driver that the neo-liberals taxi companies want to throw out at you.
Cohen wonders why so many see the industry and the backers as the villains and not victims of technology but I say if you let technology destroy working class families and the manufacturing base I am more than willing to see skuzzy,immigrant loners long overdue with replacement for their extremely unskilled and often scary skill of driving recklessly through urban streets endangering both the passengers and the many pedestrians on the street. Uber has become a political issue but its power will not be impeded columnists like this dillweed who thinks cab drivers re hard working because they could not manage to find more worthy jobs except doing what comes leisurely for everyone with a license and a car. 
If technology also replaces the similar dread of truckers and their occupations that should as well to be seen as a positive and who cares about the five million truckers, exclusively all men, whose C personality types and unfriendliness is most likely the reason they are even in this solo fucking industry that does nothing but further destructed the environment shipping cheap shit from Asia to Walmart or gasoline to the over zillion gas stations we don't seem to need to have dotting the landscape of this country.
