Government didn’t “create the problem”. The medallion system was a way to deal with actual problems caused by unlimited numbers of for hire cars driving around a small area with little to no quality control for the car or its driver.

If anything he should be writing more, not less. He’s an incredible writer. If he were to start writing books I would sign up in perpetuity to buy them. (Sorry, I think he’s really undervalued on Jalopnik and was waiting for an opportunity to point it out).

This is excellent

This is my new favorite thing.

I need there to be a re-release of this with commentary from Pally.

I’m beginning to wonder if the internet is worth it.

The McLaren part of this is kind of related to THAT McLaren. Bruce McLaren was behind this McLaren as well. Back when he was alive and was a major force in multiple forms of racing, McLaren opened up a US shop to manage his North American race interests - Indy Car and CanAm.
