Has anyone ever died because of an unlicensed limo? Is it really a threat to public safety? If consenting adults agree to a transaction, I am not sure how that's the government's business. However, if an unlicensed vehicle was portraying itself as a licensed vehicle, then you have a fraud issue, not a public safety one.

#52This is a stupid grammar nitpick I only offer in the hopes that you find it useful for your writing. No dismissal of your arguments or denigration of your character is intended. I think you want the word "affected" in your second paragraph. Effects are the result of causation, whereas affect refers to the causation. The citizens were affected by the effects of this policy.
You actually wrote two paragraphs to tell somebody they misspelled with an 'e' instead of an 'a'

#53What's the deal with all the Forbes links redirecting to welcome? How do I stop this? I tried checking the "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page" box in Firefox, but it doesn't appear to be stopping it. Presumably too many people are starting to use things like "Google Sent Me".
This is Forbes signalling to me that they no longer wish to be relevant to me.
Lol. Forbes stopped being relevant years ago.

#54Why is the regular news reading more and more like my Onion RSS feed? I have a feeling things were always this absurd, if not more so, but the idiocy gets amplified now by the channels being so connected.
Sounds like a contorted way of saying "I click the clickbait" ;)

I'm sure we've all wasted keystrokes on stupider things.

Yea, but it just getting old? I'm glad someone finally said something. Think of it this way, you loose your residence, and job. In turn, I tell you, "Well, nature is beautiful?".
And yes, we can all find grammatical mistakes. Now, producing something worth reading is another story?

Uber wasn't explicitly mentioned, but it just sounds like the TLC is overly trigger happy in seizing cars, presumably because of the uptake in services like Lyft and Uber who in the TLC's eyes are skirting around the law.
By "skirting around" do you mean "blatantly flouting"? Because that's the truth of it.. Uber, Lyft, et al are just central dispatch for gypsy cabs. I don't see any reason they shouldn't get massive fines or seized vehicles in all locales they operate.
Central dispatch for gypsy cabs?
Are you trying to make a cogent argument? because all I see is a nasty insult.

Ignore any flak you get about this. It is the best one-sentence description I've ever read about Uber.

Deciding on the bike shed's colour must be fun.
