"The Taxi Driver — And How I May Have Aided and Abetted the Enemy"

My #taxi driver sat ramrod straight, and exhibited a confusing mixture of subservience and independence. Halfway through the ride I figured out who he was. And it was a problem for me.

Wow.. Now #taxidrivers get paid to fleece the general public. #Goa TMC announces grant of Rs 10,000 to taxi drivers https://www.thegoan.net/goa-news/tmc-announces-grant-of-rs-10000-to-taxi-drivers/79820.html #TaxiMafia

#AbolishDriverDebt #NYC #taxidrivers Unite!

Do fellow fediversers expect #taxiDrivers and #deliveryDrivers to be replaced by self-driving vehicles during the next year?

This likely means that the #selfDriving vehicle tech is "ready" to be rolled out.

We'd also like to point out that the #4G network is being decommissioned at this time to make way for so-called progress. The replacement is being done in large bursts now. Check your #publicNotices (if you live in #Australia, we don't know how this is announced in other countries).

Expect stories of bad #taxiDrivers, with #selfDrivingTaxis the solution in 6 months. We'll be made to "love" them.
