That figures, they did the same thing to the taxi industry in the 1980s when I lived in New york city. The drivers and the garage would split the days take 50/50. Then the garages (owners- usually multi-millionaires) decided they wanted a set lease - such as $120 a shift. Well if it’s a slow day and you only take in $121 well then guess what? The garage still gets their $120 and you go home with a dollar for 12 hours work which happened a LOT, so the old time taxi drivers started quitting in droves and were eventually replaced by the imported 3rd worlders who don’t mind making a buck a day. These are el primo examples of why the left wants wide open borders and no ICE, solely for cheap labor for their wealthy masters while the US citizen gets fcked over. If we could play that game with Congress, we’d have a wall 50 feet high by now
I noticed the shift on taxi drivers in the 80s, too. Thanks for explaining. Another fact he mentioned about the foreigners driving...they have no regard for traffic and transportation code and are dangerous on the road.
