If it's possible for startups why not for cab drivers?
That hedge fund or whatever it is that owns them would suffer, but well I'm sure they had a good ride while the party lasted.
Seem to me that taxi driving is more of a (formerly) safe and proven blue collar job rather than an enormous and risky enterprise with investor money. Whereas with cab driving many times in the past it was a simple loan
There's the expectation of failure in a startup but not in a simple blue collar job
There is much more on the line personally than a startup.
One might say, "But the taxi drivers were sometimes the ones investing in medallions" to which I would reply that "investing" is the key word there. The medallion and the taxi it is on will continue to exist.
That's the spirit - just fuck all these people.
If it's possible for startups why not for cab drivers?
Might there be a difference between startup founders and cab drivers?
