Funny you say that.
I have heard Marvel/Netflix people almost the same things.
I would have to dig out the comments, but these shows are going gang-busters and seem to have no end in sight at the moment.
Jessica Jones isn't aborted, it is just like all the MARVEL shows on netflix they are still making them.
It just takes time to get that content out to stream.
If you can't get a job where you are at, maybe you should think of moving east or north.
Has to be better than where you are at job wise.
I am 54, and have no problem getting a job.
For that matter I have a hard time batting them away from me, I always have 3 or 4 head hunters calling after me.
So maybe it is your location and not your skill set.
That minimum wage guy is one of the major costs for a taxi company. The IRS rates miles driven in a car at a little under 60/mile, which should cover maintenance, depreciation, insurance and fuel. A taxi that only had these costs could be quite profitable at 70/mile. In New York, taxis cost $2/mile, which isn't that far off other places in the USA. The minimum wage guy needs to be paid even when the taxi is waiting for the next fare. With an automated car, you'd just leave them scattered around the city powered down and turn on the closest one when you got a new job.
The problem with your line of reason is that most Taxi drivers are NOT paid by the hour. They rent the Taxi, and have to pay for the fuel as well.
Getting paid by the hour, they would make money.
I cannot speak to how its done in New York City, but in this state drivers are contract labor with no benefits and pay by the hour.
Being a Taxi driver is very much like being a Truck driver and they are both jobs that no one who has ever done would WANT to do.
Most times it's that they need 'quick' money to pay bills and don't have the time or money to get a better education since in this county you have to PAY quite a bit for that education.

Isn't it funny how Linux wants to be come Windows (systemd = svchost.exe) and Windows wants to become Linux.
admins want Linux that has nothing to do with the dumpster fire that is system.
