More pertinent is the question of whether such services would be required to get a taxi medallion, one of which costs a MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS.

If we didn't have gooberment regulating taxis to death, you might just be able to get around by taxi in NY for a $150 a month. Take out the driver, and the $30 price point might just be in reach. Especially if it is less of a taxi and more of a small, versatile bus.

And yes, the taxi companies will fight this, just like they fought FOR the high medallion costs--to cut out the competition. What's the word for that again? You know, where corporate and government power merge?

Yes, because we have to go to Ganymede first, because of something that will happen in billions of years.

I expect that in billions of years, things that might be descended from us will be colliding stars with each other for fuel or the human race will be long extinct, along with anything we ever built. Avoiding being consumed by an expanding Sol will not be a problem either way.

Remember, kids, corporations couldn't do this without government intervention. If that company had been a partnership, the owners never could have escaped the liability, and knowing that, would have been more cautious, refraining from polluting when they could, and carrying insurance for when they couldn't. The rates would go up if the insurance company determined that said company was polluting, something which would put them out of business if they did it too much.

But hey, let's have fascist solutions for fascist problems instead.

FYI, support of treason is also treason. The usurpation of legislative authority by the judicial branch at the behest of the executive branch is the DEFINITION of treason, and all involved should be removed from office if not HUNG for their crimes against this country.

Your "grip" is going to make you look like a coward and a fool in a few years, just like the post-war Germans.

The economic aspects of cleanliness inevitably lead to dirtiness.

You are currently claiming that a totally different economic system from what we have now will inevitably lead to the economic system we have now.

I've seen your argument a thousand times, and it just keeps getting more idiotic every time I see it.

He keeps differentiating, flying off on a tangent.
