I swear news media must love this chick; she's the gift that keeps on giving. Publishers, editors, even owners must be sending her muffin baskets or something.
It’s the same crap as student loan debt - whoever took those loans out to study ridiculous non paying majors like “gender studies” didn’t have a gun over their heads while they took out the loans.
And quite frankly, I don’t understand why it’s the taxpayers who have to bail anyone out - the deal was between the dummy students and the banks. Let banks absorb the costs. It was their risk not that of the US taxpayers!
I'm assuming this is aimed at yellow taxi drivers, so, apart from me being against government funded bailouts generally, I could never support this bill on principle. For years, discrimination against non-whites by yellow taxi drivers was legendary. This discrimination was both physical and geographical; interestingly enough, now that certain areas have diversified, the yellow taxis have no problem going there. Note, one of the taxi union heads is on record as advocating for racial profiling when picking up fares as a "safety" issue.
Services like Uber and livery cabs were lifesavers.
