It's 2026. Companies don't like to pay people. They know that there's already 10 people lined up for your job if you leave or get laid off. The job market is a dumpster fire and it's not going to improve. Most listings boil down to responsibilities of a senior engineer but pay of a junior engineer and the listing stays up permanently.

This is just a camera that makes sure the driver is looking forwards out the windscreen, and doesn't have their eyes closed or looking down at their phone for extended periods. The data isn't sent anywhere or recorded, there is no spying.

There is plenty of shit to be angry about, without making up more.

You're not selecting the officer to hire to provide service based on the advertisement on the door, so no, there is no opportunity to sue them for false advertising when they lie.

They have no legal duty to tell the truth, either individually in what they say, or institutionally in what they print on their car doors.

The job of police to enforce the law, not to prevent crime. We do not have a pre-crime unit.

Taxis became ludicrously expensive due to fees and over-regulation.

In most places the biggest regulation on taxis is fare limits. The regulation is why they were cheap and provided lots of jobs.

Otherwise the companies involved tend to engage in a lot of price fixing, leaning heavily on customers that need to get to their destination.

That's as may be, but his statement about the reflecting pool

The part that pisses me off is that the company responsible for the shoddy work flat-out admitted it was their shoddy work.

is nevertheless accurate.

We were all waiting for federal cases to be built, or some disclosures. When it became clear that simply wasn't going to happen, one year into Trump's term the Republican controlled House and Senate passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act in November 2025.

I don't know what Biden's DOJ was doing, but Congress figured out what Trump's definitely wasn't doing after more than enough time had passed. Republicans controlled the house for the 118th Congress, Biden's last two years. Try asking your congress critters why they thought 2025 was the right time to get involved.
