An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

    That’s literally what it does. Taxis didn’t have monopoly, they have a licensed job specifically because unlicensed taxis were dangerous and people at the time were getting shanghaied.

      Did Spotify steal from radio?

      they have a licensed job specifically because unlicensed taxis were dangerous and people at the time were getting shanghaied.

      Do you have any source for that happening significantly more frequently with Ubers?

        Radio is licensed to transmit at certain levels on certain frequencies, Spotify does not transmit in open air.

        Point to where I said it was happening. I said taxis were licensed because of crazy shit like rapists driving people to word places and having at. You don’t get that with Uber.
