I don't think the yellow cab fleet would have ever done something like the uber pickup system though. They would have no reason to improve their service that much.
exactly. the medallion system really created a host of perverse incentives and municipal governments tend to be super-unresponsive to citizen complaints, beholden to established interests, and just basically unable to reform themselves even if they wanted to.
there are things that municipalities or states could do to address the potential problems created by uber. requiring commercial licensure or insurance, for instance. but of course the established medallion holders just want uber shut down, not for the system to be reformed - their business model was built upon rent-seeking, protection from competition and exploitation of drivers.

Pro tip - all nouns and verbs are freely interchangable. So are adjectives and pronouns, and adverbs and prepositions.

I only eat chicken that is genetically modified so it doesn't even produce its own natural hormones.
heh as i was typing i was thinking oh but it has them so i mean like added and i actually maybe mean antibiotics but i ain't got any chicken here and i ain't googlin' this chicken nonsense and
But, idk. Most of my job is interacting with bloated private companies that do everything poorly because they have no reason not to, and if we succeed I will cackle at their eventual obedience to my grand, feverish dream of efficiency
I think we genuinely are making things better for doctors who treat injured workers using the power of tech companies
So idk. I think about it a lot.

Huh. Apparently in the 1500s, "sudden" saw much use as a noun as a surprise or abrupt event.
Is this the origin of the idiom "all of the/a sudden"? I've always wondered why it was a noun there.
That's what I'm reading up on.
It was first an adjective from Old French and Latin, in the 1300s, and then became adverbial in the 1400s
Then it was used as a noun and " upon the sodaine" or "of a sodaine" saw some use. First the definite article and then the indefinite article, though there was overlap in the late 1500s.
The prepositional phrases introducing the nominal sudden varied greatly and only seem to have calcified into "all of a sudden" recently. And now "all of the sudden" is making a comeback, despite being "incorrect."

I want chicken that is genetically modified so that it is beef but only contains good nutrients.
I want humans that are generically modified to taste like chickenbeef.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
thinnish-slice a Honeycrisp apple
toss in butter and espresso balsamic vinegar and a bit of salt, saute until the edges are browning, set aside.
In the pan, add olive oil and a bunch of chicken breasts (or strips, which is what I did)
add more salt, black pepper. Brown them on medium.
flip, reduce heat to medium. Add another dash of the espresso balsamic
add a bunch of diced green onions
as they are wilting, add the apples back to the pan and toss everything.
Serve with grated gruyere cheese over the top and a Caesar salad
it was SO GOOD.

the awesome thing about monopolies is that you're not forced to evolve and you can do whatever you want if your service is a necessity

He has so many issues that we have even ended up on the same side on some of them!
He's morphed into a slightly more eloquent version of Thanatos over the past year or so. Dunno why, he used to be fairly reasonable.
mostly he hates conservatives/republicans and also hates the tech industry. you could probably build his ideology from those two axioms.
every once in a while he and i line up on something and it's always kind of a pleasant surprise
