Wait, so unlicensed rideshare operators are a problem, but the reckless taxi drivers and bus drivers need protection? WTF? Just this week alone I saw a taxi almost cause two accidents, and a bus illegally overtaking, running oncoming traffic off the road.
The price isn't the issue, it is the convenience. I promise you, if you ask the average tourist or local how to call a cab, they'll have no idea how to do it. Rideshare services with bespoke apps? Grab phone, tap "Pick me up", done. These services haven't taken over because they are cheaper, they have taken over because it is a premium service.
How about you just use that multi-million dollar video conferencing system that you "invested" in a few years ago? Or was that just a scheme to line someone's pockets?
So if the vendors wanted better security, why didn't they hire security? If they wanted their stalls be more secure, why didn't they make them more secure? If they were worried about items being stolen overnight, why did they leave items there overnight? At what point is everything "The Government's" fault?
What happened to the million dollars of video conferencing equipment that was installed in the courts and the prison to replace the silly bussing system? If that money was all embezzled, as likely happened, and no working system was ever available, why not simply send a single judge to the prison to hear these cases, instead of moving dozens of inmates? These are not complex problems to solve.
Absolutely. I don't shop online because it is cheaper, or because I want the headache of customs, and shipping, and tracking. I do it because most companies can't be bothered to put their products and prices online. Who wants to spend 20 minutes on hold trying to explain to a clerk what it is you are looking for, and waiting for them to go check if they have it. I sure as hell am not going to spend an hour in traffic just to wander around their store hoping they have the thing I need. CBS and Kellys get plenty of business from me since they are no longer operating as if it were 1962.
