  • Cities have a medallion system to prevent congestion of taxis on the roads. If there was a problem, increasing the number of medallions and scheduling surge pricing (like NYC has done with all cars now) would have improved service.

    Alternately, simply declaring Uber a taxi service and subject to employment laws would have fixed most everything.

    I guess since flying is a hassle, I should buy a jet and land it in parking lots to make it convenient for consumers. So what if a few hundred die a year if tens of thousands have easier air travel.


  • I literally said it doesn’t prevent scamming just like cash.

    You claimed crypto is immune to fraud.

    I then showed how old fashion credit card is better. I didn’t say cash.

    My father had his bank account drained twice

    My nephew lost all his crypto to malware.

    Your father’s bank “nearly” didn’t refund but actually did. So you proved that banks provide safety. Credit cards provide even stronger safety between you and businesses. My nephew’s crypto was gone with absolutely no recourse.

    The overall supply of most crypto is known

    That has absolutely nothing to do with fraud or losing your crypto to malware.







  • Just because the legal system is bad doesn’t make an illegal system better. You fix the legal problem.

    "I can’t find a cab doesn’t mean the solution is unregulated gig workers.
    “Don’t worry if an independent contractor rapes you, just give him 1 star and the free market will fix the problem.”

    Think of how much money Starbucks would save if they made their employees provide their own coffee machines, beans and paper cups. That’s where it’s going.
