    Every argument in this thread is basically taxi protectionism.

        I don’t like protectionism.

          Kinda just sound like a conspiracy nut finding arguments where there are none with people who are just talking about the article

      Taxi companies tend to be smaller, more locally owned businesses with actual employees instead of “contractors.” Why would we *not side with them?
