There is no way taxi drivers performed an accurate assessment of risk before taking on a loan for their medallion. They bought in a rigged system because there is no other better system. And believing it would persist isn’t something you can blame on someone who has few alternatives. -

Do you think they would have bought into it if they knew it was that rigged? Taxi drivers have never gotten rich from their activity, which means there was probably little else they could do to ensure a basic livelihood for themselves and their family.
Your displayed lack of sympathy for poor service workers doesn't make you look as smart as you think it does. -

♲ @NYTWA@twitter.com: Drivers are being foreclosed on, their medallion - their job - is confiscated & sold to bidders. Made jobless, they then are sued to pay off balance left on the loan. The city inflated values, banks engaged in predatory lending. They all made millions. Drivers are in poverty.

Oh course, but it's even funnier to me to take your joke literally! -

The link to my kid school's Second Grade Welcome Letter Google document allowed me to edit it, so I fixed the layout and some of the formatting, because why not? -

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the inefficiency of social services demanding proofs of poverty before being awarded, but it still is better than absolutely no social services. -

I have been tempted by the concept of Universal Basic Income in the past, but not anymore. This article explains the pitfalls of such a measure enacted by the capitalists currently in power.

If you feel smug when you just posted something online, you probably shouldn't have posted it.
I know it because I felt smug writing this. -

That’s why I specified “serious poetry”. -

Of the various human experiences I simply don’t enjoy myself, serious poetry might be the most surprising by the sheer scale of what I’m missing. I simply can’t care for the lyrics of any non-comedic song for example. -

Hi !Friendica Support, I seem to remember one could change the picture of any of their contact by going to "Advanced Settings" on the contact page, but I can't find it anymore, has it been removed? -
