They didn’t have to. It was a commodity with limited supply that had been artificially inflating for decades. Then, much like the real-estate/housing crisis, someone woke up and found they really weren’t worth that much. The last guy holding the hot potato when time is up loses.

A medallion is a contract. A driver pays for it and in return the number of taxi drivers is limited by the city. The city is not limiting the number of taxi drivers, so the contract is broken. Cities need to either honor the contract or return fees for the medallion. If wealthy white men drove taxis, the city would…

This is terrible for this man and other people like him, but the problem isn’t with Uber, it’s that a medallion is $700k. This artificial economy has always been problematic. There are also issues with ride sharing, but the answer lies somewhere in the middle, not protecting this outdated system.

I find those answers to be wholly satisfactory, especially #5.

A manual M5 or E63 don’t exist anymore either, so I guess you save $120k! Win!

I apologize on twitter all the time. I don’t have any followers, so mostly I’m apologizing to myself. I don’t really find the apologies that sincere, so I don’t bother responding when I do it. It’s gotten really awkward with myself lately.

This is a show about prostitution and pornoagraphy in NYC in the seventies - it airs on HBO.

Or unveil “THE METROPOLIS” jerseys. They can be red, because any team can be any color now!

Also I’m going to bang my hand

They should have stuck with the City jerseys. Everyone knows that City > Town.

But that didn’t happen tonight, as the Rockets did just enough to pull out their first ever playoff win on the road against the Dubs.

Try passing a kidney stone while standing and let me know how that works out for ya. I passed out and hit my head on the counter the first time (it did not come out that time). I sat for the next few days until the coast (read: my urethra) was clear.

Why call this guy a man? Real men don’t pee sitting down.

Don’t get me wrong! Once the Finals begin, I will be rooting like my life depends on it for whichever sad-sack team makes it out of the East. My Warriors fandom is extremely provisional.

I feel like James Harden is basketball’s version of Compubox’s Floyd Mayweather.

🗣Talk THAT talk, @stephencurry30 *NSFW*

88 would be unusual. Or 8.8.

No, it’s counting the number of horses that live inside the engine.

okay smart guy - why do they call it ‘horse’ power?

I know this may sound crazy... but a car and a horse are two different things.
