Ah, so you were born in 2009. Because anyone born earlier than that saw the racist stuff flying when he was running, before he said anything you'd consider racist or divisive.
I saw more than one "Nigger in Chief" bumper sticker. In person, not some staged photo. Yes, Obama started the race war, by not staying in "his place".
The whole drug war was spearheaded against civil rights by the Republicans because it was a racist program. And the anti-personal rights Republicans were all for stripping everyone in the country of their personal rights, so long as the cops used that power disproportionately against Black people. The fist drug war was even sold as such explicitly in Congress.
When you correct for SES, the trend stays. In fact, race correlates with the result more than SES does, it's just that because race correlates with SES, we've used SES for 50 years, so we could blindly believe that the race wars were over with the civil rights movement in the '60s.
If it can be both uniqu and normal at the same time, then we are speaking a different language. Do you have a dictionary for yours? We'll say I use Websters (not my favorite, but a common one).
Yeah, in the US, a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... carying power and no telephone lines at all would be most commonly referred to as a "telephone pole", silly brits, using inaccurate language differently than we do.
The test was to determine whether you were smart enough to tell people what they want to hear, and you failed it.
If that were true, they wouldn't have had all the questions to determine if you were lying. No, they were using a dumb questionnaire to form a personality profile.
I've dealt withe the DMV in multiple countries. They are sufficiently similar that you could be in the wrong one and not notice except by the accents. Perhaps it's the difference between Eastern and Western Europe. Have you been to a DMV in England or Germany? They are in Europe, and still closer to the US than what you describing of Poland.
All the pro-hillary stuff in my feed gets there because a specific person shares it. He's toned it down. I wasn't the only person to tell him to be more selective, or I'd mute him.
I'd like to see what they say about me. I bash both parties all the time. My comments on every subject are usually sarcastic. Do they have a working sarcasm detector? Or is it all about the things you follow? George Takei is a gay rights activist. So would a conservative who likes ice cream (ben and jerrys) and George Takei be labeled liberal?
Or is someone who is far-left who attacks Hillary going to be labeled conservative for being anti-Democrat?
I've seen those types of labels applied. They never work. I got rejected from a minimum wage job in college because the chain store had a standard questionaire. If you answered that you don't use drugs, but think they should be legal, you were considered a lying drug user. The makers of the test couldn't conceive of someone who thinks drugs should be legal and regulated, and wouldn't use them if they were. Though, this was 20+ years ago, so the modern legalization swing wasn't popular yet.
I can only think that the labels are wrong much of the time, and the effectiveness of them is over-stated to increase Facebook's ad income.
A closed industry with a monopoly-like result is (rightly or wrongly) called a monopoly. Have you not noticed the use of "monopoly" to refer to oligopolies in general use? I'm not saying it's right, just that it's the wording commonly used.
The real problem with these medalion services is that demand grows with population and sprawl, but I've never seen medallions with a reasonable growth built into the system. The government should auction off 10% (if population growth is 10%) new medallions every year. That would allow reasonable growth of the industry, new entrants, and fix many of the complaints of the medallion system. But all the medallion holders would be against that. I remember one place that indicated they were going to bulk-create new medallions to catch up for the 20 years from when the numbers were fixed, and the taxi companies sued the government for "illegal taking" because the change would lower the value of their medallions. So the governments are afraid of the medallion holders now. Because of the bad laws around medallions.
There are many times when translating a word, then translating it back, won't result in the same word returned, but it would still be the "correct" middle translation. "in each and all places" sounds close enough to "everwhere" I can't see how that's an incorrect translation, even if a bit awkward. Though "universal" sounds a bit more like a "to everyone in all places", but universal would be a stupid name for a media company.
I never called it "sharing". Uber calls it that because the concept of a black car isn't universal. They exactly match the definition of black cars in NYC, and many places have copied NYC's precedent. The only difference is that you claim a dispatch system "over the Internet" is substantially different than a dispatch system "over the phone". Your stance seems absurd.
You are claiming that raising your hand and whistling is closer to a technological device connecting to a centralize booking and dispatch service (Uber) than a technological device connecting to a centralize booking and dispatch service (Uber) is to a technological device connecting to a centralize booking and dispatch service (phone).
May not have come from the Taxi industry. Lots of these definitions used around the US were "inherited" from NYC, where NYC TLC litigated the issues before anyone else needed to. So it could have been the limousine industry that managed to focus on that distinction for defining limos and black cars.
A single company is operating the industry. That company happens to be the government. It's a government monopoly. And I don't make up the words. I just use them as others use them. If you don't like a descriptive language, I hear France runs a proscriptive language. That seems to suit your preferences better.
Black cars have to be booked well in advance of departure, not on-demand like Uber or a taxi.
Have you ever even heard of black cars? They park outside hotels in NYC. If you walk up to one, they point you to the bell hop (or concierge), who writes down your name in the log book, and you walk back to the car and drive away. He gives you a business card, and when you want a ride back, you call or text, and he retrieves you. Black cars were created to be an alternative to taxis.
And there are very few black cars compared to taxis.
What if a potential passenger contacts taxis for a pickup via some kind of internet forum or IRC?
A taxi is a taxi, no matter how they get their next fare. What, you don't even know what a taxi is, and talk like an expert on transportation in general?
I don't like Uber. I don't use Uber. I just call out lies and liars, and here, that makes me look like an Uber supporter. Since most of the idiots are on the anti-Uber side.
Taxes are best tolerated when hidden. Listing out all the taxes is also inconvenient. Note, what you pump at the pump is what you pay for gasoline. All taxes are included. Single price. People love it. Movie tickets are generally don the same way. $10 for a $10 ticket. Taxis are also the same. The fare is the price. Nothing addded on at the end, but it's all in the fare. You don't get a $2 ride, with a $10 medallion fee, $10 tolls, $10 cleaning fee (sometimes the tolls are separated, depending on country, but most roll them into the fare for a single price), you just get a $32 fare.
Tellng people how to show a price to their customer is one of the basic functions of government. Anything else is a fraud.
It's a closed market. You can't buy a medallion from the taxi regulator. You can't become a taxi operator by starting a new company and complying with all other regulations. You must buy a privately held limited asset to operate. That's not "regulation" that's artificial monopoly (based on the current definition of monopoly that includes oligopoly). just because the monopoly is government mandated doesn't make it a "regulation" in the same sense as a restaurant. More like a liquor store. where some places have a limit on the number. So you are free to open one, so long as you burn down a competitor.
Nobody should live in Las Vegas. Everyone I know who lived there hated it. The taxis are fared to milk the tourists taking the short hops between the strip and the airport. The airport shuttle services are much more reasonable. They should be used most places (with some exceptions), unless you are a businessman on the company expense account.
I think the next big project for LV should be to make a tunnel from Mandalay Bay to the airport terminal, with high-speed walkways (travelators). A clean, safe foot path from the strip to the airport would fix many of the problems with The Strip, and tourist access to it. Of course, the monorail would need to be extended to reach, perhaps linking the Excalibur to Mandalay Bay tram.
Compare a black car service to both, and let us know if Uber is closer to a black car service or a taxi. Your false dichotomy doesn't cover all the legal options.
Uber has to meet regulations. They are just different, since they are different services. It's illegal for an Uber to respond to a literal hail. If you waive down an Uber driver, it's illegal for them to pick you up as a fare. They comply with that regulation (and others). Their anti-regulation stance is that they shouldn't be regulated like taxis, when they are not a taxi service.

The name applies to the style of pole, not what it's used for. Exactly the same as the US.

How low is that? What percent of the US population lives at that elevation?
Because no airplane ever crashed from wind/air?

In a monopoly there would be no option to buy.
In a monopoly you'd have the ability to buy, only if the previous owner wished to sell. That's identical to the current situation.
