I just haven't worked out the recourse if they refuse to acknowledge it.
We've got no problem killing them only a few months earlier... so it just requires moving the line.

Paying out of pocket is right out because of how fucking expensive it is in the US to get health care.
Its expensive *because* people dont pay out of pocket.
With insurance the cost of a broken leg and an emergency room visit is $63000, while the cost for the same without insurance is only $1300.
The problem with the collectivist vision is and always will be tragedy of the commons.
Self defense is not terrorism. A war of self defense will be ugly and when you look at individual events, there will be some things that are not fair. However, Israel is 100% right to fight the PLO and Hamas and kill Palestinian terrorists whenever they have opportunity. When the terrorists hide in civilian houses, they are right to bulldoze the houses. Etc.
Over an entire generation of people raised in an open air prison. Fighting the predictable consequences of this fact is not "self defense" -- its something quite evil.
Imagine living your whole life in an open air concentration camp from birth to death, and your children subject to the same thing. Or imagine being one of those children from birth, and your parents were subject to the same thing from birth to death.
Yeah... "self defense" with tanks, jets, and nukes, vs a people in concentration camps.
When your chip is compiling/executing nearly every opcodes into microcode on the fly, it's time we retire the inefficient instruction set.
That doesnt make it inefficient in the performance sense. Your argument is born from knowing just enough to be terribly wrong, probably because the RISC fanboys convinced you to stop considering relevant details
If two designs can fetch N bytes of instructions per cycle then the design that packs more relevant operations into that N-bytes wins on performance. The relevant detail you missed is this exact bottleneck. Intel's design ultimately fetches more micro-ops per cycle than is possible with a more RISCy design, which is why even ARM is doing it now.
Building something different to what anyone has built before is a bit hard to quote for, and that's the main, should be incredibly obvious point
So about half the projects come under budget and the other half over budget? no? they all go over budget? yeah... proof that the problem isnt how hard it is to quote for, but instead how easy it is to get more than you quoted.
A bunch of poor people, with limited access to the internet, turn to one of the only sources of information they have.
Would you argue the same about a fucking tabloid newspaper?
How is the consumer supposed to know otherwise when they have no access to better information?
The same way its always been... PUT EFFORT INTO DECISIONS
"How was I supposed to know it was just snake oil?"
But for people who only can get to wikipedia through their basic cell phone plans
No, it fucking wasn't. Are you fucking retarded? Information only comes on cell phones now? Really? idiot.
I've heard this, but I don't understand this.
Its very easy to understand when you realize that its an obvious lie.
It would be even harder to commit if you go to vote, and the person at the polls helpfully informs you that you already did.
The very situation you describe here is in fact post-fraud as in already committed instead of as you so dishonestly claim "harder to commit."
Oh, please. I am no friend of the rent-seeking, regulatory-capture taxi cartel, but Uber is unethical as hell.
So go after them for that... instead of an excuse that literally supports evil.
Its as if you are saying "Uber is unethical, therefore I want the very things that makes the existing system evil to triumph over Uber! Go evil!"
That price is for a business medallion is purchased by a company that runs the car 24 hours a day in 3 shifts bringing in $300,000 / yr. or more.
The high price is the price all medallions go for, so what you are saying is that the only folks that can have a cab license are those that run them 24/7.
This line is always trotted out by people who dont understand NYC medallions.
You seemed to have been hinting that less than 100% of taxi's have medallions.
Why not come out and make a direct statement about what you seem to think is wrong with my statements, instead of the bullshit hinting shit you are doing now so that people cant just label you a dishonest fuck and be done with you.
Keep in mind however that only a handful of cities use Medallions.
At least the medallion system, as abhorrent as it is, allows the licenses to be transfered to other individuals. In most other places its even worse than the medallion system where there not only is an artificially limited supply, you've got to also be on the good graces of the local bureaucrat gatekeeper when there is an opening.
Instead you went with... "it doesn't even matter if Uber is exploitive"
The fact that you start throwing around crap ("inflammatory rhetoric!!!!") instead of arguments ("here is some logic...") means that its YOU thats throwing around inflammatory rhetoric. The post with the statement you are calling inflammatory rhetoric what loaded with detailed logic about the viewpoint, while you just spout fucknothings.
