The state-sponsored monopoly which simply doesn't exist in many parts of the world, but which you seem to assume does exist, because wherever you come from hasn't figured out how to manage taxis correctly. We are discussing Europe, not the US.
Please stop thinking taxis in the whole of Europe suck as much as American ones. Here in Germany they are generally fantastic - new(-ish) Mercedes, clean, trained and insured drivers, strict laws stopping them from messing with/defrauding people, and so on. It's easy enough to become a taxi driver, too, so there really isn't much to complain about. Uber leapt on the German market simply because of its size, not because it was trying to fix or improve something (outside their bottom line).
No, you send for your family once you have an established, safer route and enough money to pay for it. The family will do what they can to stay safe for the time being, sometimes moving to a location away from the fighting before being summoned.
You might want to heed your own advice. The amount of drivel you come up with is amazing. It's almost as if you start with the conclusion "I don't want them here", and then you make up explanations for all their actions which neatly align with that conclusion. You're like a creationist, but instead of trying to prove God created everything, you're trying to prove that desperate people are all monsters simply because of some superficial differences you perceive.
If you are not using a library to access your database, you are doing it wrong. It is not 1999 any more. PHP supports PDO (as you mentioned), and there are a bunch of great libraries for using whatever database you want, allowing you to flit from one backend to another as you wish. If one doesn't know about PDO, one should not be writing code which uses a database, as clearly there is a knowledge gap.
Just look at what other countries with functioning taxi services do. It's really not difficult. That so many parts of the US can't even get taxis working correctly explains so much.
You are confusing official names with how people refer to the countries. Don't. You are discussing different things. As has been pointed out, various languages use articles before certain countries. This has nothing to do with the official name of the country in question, but everything to do with the language the country is being referred to in. It doesn't matter if all of Ukraine calls it "Ukraine", there will be plenty of people outside who will still call it the Ukraine.
It's quite impressive that you thought that, then assumed you know better than they do. Maybe - just maybe - Facebook knows when and how often their assets are viewed, and the best way to store them for the uses they provide. And as for finding a cloud provider that will store all your images - it's called Facebook, and plenty of people use it for that. You also fail to even consider that photos generate revenue for Facebook. Considering the assumptions you made, it's probably a safer bet to listen to Facebook regarding Facebook than you.
He didn't put his own safety on the line to go help out his buddies, he just leant slightly on the joystick and told them what he saw. Fair enough if he leapt on a plane and flew over there, tracked down the shooter and beat him up, I'd agree with you entirely. A medal is supposed to be for actions performed, not for how warm and fuzzy you make others. Handing them out like tic tacs makes any medal worth less.
Assuming there is a nation post-war. That is a hell of a gamble, not even considering the fact that countless people will die just to find out. Don't confuse the comfort the US experienced in the second world war with that experienced by other nations during wartime.
Your claim makes no sense, but then that's to be expected from xenophobes - you and your ilk don't exactly have a great track record of "logical thinking".
You got all of that because I pointed out your argument was based on emotion and ignorance and not fact? Again, you're really not doing yourself any favours here. With each post you show the world just how small-minded and scared you are.
That is absolute nonsense. Start a business in the EU and you can get all sorts of grants and sweeteners. The American status quo seems to be "the workers getting screwed over again" with your terrible amount of days off, poor health care, pathetic welfare, etc. You can keep it, seriously.
So you'd send your wife and kids first, letting them deal with human traffickers, corruption, and danger, while you wait for them to get settled and send for you via more traditional, safer means?
Hint: It's fucking DANGEROUS to make the thousands-of-kilometers journey - the guys will usually go first as they have a better chance of surviving, and then send for their families later. They also run the risk of being targeted by whatever military is fucking up their home, as they are of "military age". What's odd is you leaping to conclusions when you've clearly not spent more than half a second thinking about this, and that you are perfectly capable of judging people you know nothing about simply because of their age and place of birth.
That is precisely what's happening. The laws passed are just guarding the work society has put in to creating a functioning taxi system. They don't want it to be corrupted or usurped by some fly-by-night company, as they know it's an essential part of public transport, and something people and jobs depend on.
Precisely - it is my opinion. That's why I started by explaining that they are my experiences. The post you linked to contained someone claiming to be presenting facts across an entire industry in a large city. Can you see the difference?

There is no umlaut to miss out - it's Frankfurt. Furt is German for "ford", making Frankfurt mean "Furt der Franken" / "Ford of the Franks".
These don't exist in many countries. Not all the world is as dysfunctional with taxis as the US.

Take the train instead. A few euros. That's why it's there :)

Not all taxis work that way, so you can stop making that argument, as it is factually inaccurate and not applicable to great swathes of the world.

Is that what you did when you said women can't be scientists? Or was that a different sort of mental fuck-uppery?

Apart from replication and clustering. Then you need to use some really terrible tools to get something approaching reliable.
You honestly can't tell the difference between an amount of money and some 1s and 0s? Are you naturally this dense or did you take evening classes?

No, it's Frankfurt. Technically Frankfurt am Main, but Frankfurt will do.

They can walk around alone in public just fine. You should stop confusing your fantasies with reality.
That you have no passion you'd work for speaks more of you than anyone else. You sound really, really sad.
So you'd send your wife and kids first, letting them deal with human traffickers, corruption, and danger, while you wait for them to get settled and send for you via more traditional, safer means?
