Taxi drivers rioted in an anti-Uber demonstration last week which was followed by a Uber demonstration in Paris this week as the cultural war between taxis and Uber heat up .Many of these drivers who vented their frustration appear to be more Algerian than French and one must be disappointed by the recent French governments decision to crack down on Uber. What this signals to the public is that people are not free to choose how they get transportation and Uber and Lyft will have to fnd ways to pressure French officials to get freedom to operate. These bastards in France stopped mid-day traffic and then escalated into violence and the Uber protest didn't have the same violence as the Taxi monopolists showed the world what they are capable of and their refusal to allow competition is disgraceful. The taxi industry is an industry that wants to continue their dominance and exploitation of a monopoly and given a choice few people would prefer a corrupt system taxi drivering and medallion pricing is seen as an investment around the world. Uber and its drivers have a right to set up shop in what is suppose to be a democratic country.
In New York Taxi regulators are complaining and wanting to hear Taxi drivers input at how they have been affected since Uber and Lyft has slashed prices. these companies are willing and able to prove that they can provide riders with more economic alternatives than expensive short rides cab companies have long prevented others from entering and competing and basically these taxi drivers and cab companies seek to implement their dominance and monopoly.
The price cut from the city’s top car service apps comes as the yellow taxi industry is making an effort to entice drivers and riders to come back to the traditional cab.
But the yellow taxis — chained to a meter fare rate and a host of regulations — are unable to compete the way Uber and Lyft can, according to Lucius Riccio, a former city Department of Transportation commissioner. That's too bad and so sad and a change in the business and price model was long in coming and one of the positive aspects of technology into the transportation marketplace.
“Now, we have competition at the lower end for the mass market and that’s something that the city hasn’t grappled with before,” he said. Again so sad and too bad. manufacture workers long ago lost jobs to overseas workers and now the same transition is happening to these imported drivers from other countries that Americans had to rely on to drive them given no choice and preference for native drivers in an industry that long sought to exclude Americans a living wage or chance in this taxi occupation. These are also people imported willing to drive 18 hours a day and not fight for normal working conditions endangering so many people across the country as hundreds are killed by these sleepy heads a year who are able to get into the country thanks to influential relatives with to many dollars and but their way into a job for Abdullah.
m the people like these two losers he so highlighted on his program and passed as entertainment. Howard loved having these weirdo's on as some sort of representation of America because had he to deal with real and serious economic and social issues Howard's ignorance and unintelligence would of showed he was not really that far away from the wack pack gang himself
Not one of the raiders were killed in this attack and this attack did provoke an outcry our East of the wanton murder of Apaches on what was suppose to be a future reservation. Jacoby gives a history f the area where the Spanish fought endless campaigns to pacify the Natives and bring "Christian" civilization into the Southwest of America and Northern Mexico. The currant events taking place in Syria resembles much of these conflicts the Americans had by 1871 had inherited from their conquest of the region trying to play peace with all the tribes and bring stability to the region. apaches were long used as auxiliaries in fighting other Indians by both the Spanish and American governmental authorities and they burned many bridges with neighboring Indians in what had always been a brutal region. This book helps explain the region and history of the various Indians and Spanish settlements and the constant raiding culture that took places between Indians and between Indians and subjects of Spain.
Dre and the Black Cat also went recently to one of these rural backwater areas and an indie show seeing a match so ridiculous they admitted that sometimes they are shamed to be wrestling fans. These indie wrestling events are indeed usually atrocious and nothing like the wrestling of the WWF and usually these matches offer poor performances and boring storylines. The match that made these hams full of shame was a match between a wrestler,a robot, and a monkey. Basically the robot was a guy in an outfit and the monkey was in a cage in the ring never really getting out and was only verbally assaulted. This match in LaSalle -Peru was so bad and lame the old school guys had to discuss it and the state of the smaller independent wrestling promotions which dot this country.
o easily available for basketball jagoffs like him and Michael Jordon to piss away thee extreme inflated earnings. without basketball and the corporate shenanigans that works out diverting money into big time sports Charles Barkley would be a little man, most likely in a prison for drugs or sex crimes, and this is something I am sure he is well aware and basically rich people like him not knowing how to handle money makes other men obscenely wealthy and could be a reason why these dumb jocks are rewarded with such high generating incomes.
