They act like cab drivers who followed the rules were had it any better than current Uber drivers. The only way cabbies made any money was by ripping off their customers, which they could do with impunity because you had no other options.

Transparency and customer choice are bad for private entities with a state-enforced oligopoly, chud.

In Vegas there's a route taxis take from the airport that typically makes you pay 3x what you would then if they just took you straight to the strip the normal way
Kinda respect it honestly

In New Orleans, if they hadnโt made their dues to company for the night they would pick up a drunk person and drive circles around the city until the bill would get absolutely outrageous.
Once they made their dues they would turn off the meter and charge $10 a head to go a few miles

People who defend taxis are too young to remember how shitty they were. Any time you got in one you knew you were going to get ripped off. They regularly wouldnโt accept my account that I had step up cause I wouldnโt ever carry cash, they never had a working credit card machine, they would often turn the meter off, they would charge per head, and thatโs only in the rare cases they actually showed up.
Uber has legitimately made the world a safer place

B-word bye ๐๐๐๐ whatโs cringe is you stereotyping everyone on the planet who smokes weed. The only person here whoโs awkward, boring, lame and living in a haze here is you buddy. As someone who smokes weed everyday, I love doing things while smoking weed. Whether it be hiking, yoga, working out, studying or reading a book. On top of all of that, I have my own business and Iโm getting a degree in Kinesiology. ๐๐๐ also, getting realizations are fun. Maybe you should smoke some weed one day so you can realize how youโre projecting your own cringe personality on the rest of your pothead โfriends.โ
