Taxi drivers and Uber was a legitimate issue. Taxis had long been required to buy medallions that were hundreds of thousands of dollars to operate. Uber does the exact same thing and is not required to do the same? Total bullshit.

“Rideshare”. It’s just taxi service by another name. Same rules for everyone, but then suddenly Uber and Lyft would collapse because Taxi services have always been the better option.
