Platystemon posted:https://twitter.com/akillingword/status/1549917407568744449 We did something about this problem, solved it and for some reason never heard about the problem again. You can't explain that. This reminded me of how often I hear right wing media bring up how in the 70's everyone was saying there'd be another ice age but now it's all global warming when, in reality, I think it was like ONE Time Magazine article speculating on the possibility of a second ice age.

I honestly don't know why the Tories bother sending these out. They did one for privatising Channel 4, 64% were against the Idea and they just decided to ignore it and move forward with it anyway.

Yeah, I went to catholic school and our sex ed consisted of being told AIDs molecules were small.enough to go through holes in condoms, shown pictures of a medical outside a Planned Parenthood and some lady giving us a lecture about how tape loses stickiness if you use it too much, so no loving. If it wasnt for Loveline I'd never had known how to fit a mason jar up my rear end

Did we go to the same school? The sex ed teacher was also the Religion class teacher (I don't think she had any actual credentials), and after her terrible sex ed lesson she put out a cardboard box with a slot and said if anyone had any sex ed related questions we could drop them in there anonymously and she'd address them so we could all learn. Me and some friends had some legit questions and put them in. She opened the box later, read one, closed it and never brought it up again. I think I asked if males really had a g-spot in their rear end

The Taxi Medallion system was peak corruption and gatekeeping. the purpose of medallions is to act as a hard limit on the number of taxis in circulation, as taxis lead to increased traffic congestion due to phenomenon such as cruising (driving around looking for fares) and deadheading (driving between fares) turns out this is still just as true with rideshares as it is with traditional taxis https://news.mit.edu/2021/ride-sharing-intensifies-urban-road-congestion-0423

Yeah we had the "HIV can just pass through condoms" speech and it was a public school. He had a volleyball net set up in the gym and said it had the same possibility of a tennis ball passing through the holes of the net, proceeded to throw the ball at the net, and it hit the bottom of it and didn't pass through. Pretty sure that speech inspired a lot of people to find out how rad unprotected sex is though.

Mr. Fall Down Terror posted:yes, artificial limits are the entire purpose of it, like i said, to put a cap on the number of taxis in circulation because as it happens, objectively and in reality, this leads to increased traffic congestion Yes, pretty much all the gig industry is exploitive. But the taxi medallion system was a whole level above of badness. "Since many cab drivers took out loans in order to afford medallions when values were high, many have subsequently been forced to declare bankruptcy. In September 2020, Marblegate Management LLC, the largest holder of NYC medallion loans, decided to write off $70 million in debt that indigent cab drivers still owed." Simple taxi drivers had $70 million in debt in NYC alone because of these medallions being priced so artificially high. Trumps own upstanding and totally not a sleezeball lawyer, Michael Cohen, was forced to give up $22 million worth of taxi medallions. That just shows you a tip of the corruption iceberg. And that doesn't even get into the reality... there weren't enough taxi's before Uber/Lyft. I've got some horror stories of trying to hail taxi's in SF.

"i've had problems with taxis. what if we set up a different system that was even worse for labor rights and the public, but made venture capital a lot of money, wouldn't that be better?" is not really compelling stuff bay area tech culture poisons everything it touches as it tries to demolish existing health and safety regulations for the sake of reinventing the wheel, but as a monthly service Burning_Monk posted:And that doesn't even get into the reality... there weren't enough taxi's before Uber/Lyft.
