    We're not going to have self driving in 5 years if they can't even freaking read signs at night yet! Further proof that automated driving is much further back then we are led to believe.

    To me it is more important that Mary's child doesn't have to live their entire life in a society that has become violent because the average person doesn't get what they need.

    Taxi drivers with only a choice of three companies to run to instead of the hundreds of taxi companies we have now, but making 1/3 the money.

    I don't think it ever was about inflating the cost of a medallion, if that was the case they would lower the number of cars over time not raise it. The point is always to limit the number of cars to something that is not overburdening the roads and environment. OF course once you have something with value, people are going to want to protect it, that's just necessary evil.

    At some point you have to call a spade a spade and look at how much opportunity the average low-income person really has to pull them selves out of the state they find themselves in. A person needs enough to live, so the less they make the more they have to work.

    The poor get a means to sustain themselves for the purpose of working. You know this is how they do it in china. Give them just enough to live and they remain beholden to you.

    I don't get it. I thought the leaders of these companies that basically had a license to print money at one time got there because they were dynamic thinkers and keen business people. Thay can't simply look at the world around them and adjust their business accordingly?? It's not like it's hard to go into a board meeting and tell them you know how to make more profits.

    I don't think you really understand what socialism is. You're talking about communism, and not even real communism but the kind that has been implemented in real life. Socialism is merely the government taking an interest in the well being of its citizens over all else.
