The majority of Cab Drivers I used from 2002 to 2008 where all Muslim men. Somalians to be specific. I learned from various sources that the Medallions (cab license) were bought up by wealthy Muslims for huge $$ driving the prices up and making it impossible for a non corporate independent to buy one or even keep one.
Then they populated the Cab Driving population with Muslims who they rented the cab out too. They would rent it out to two, one for each 12 hour shift.
I can't out right draw a connection with this latest news about the big investment in Uber the Saudi's are making, but something smells fishy about this Uber/Lyft connection to Muslims.
end the monopoly
Oh my, what are the mayors of these dem cities going to do?
On one hand their party is beholden to Saudi money, on the other hand they are beholden to $40,000 taxi badges...
What is a politician to do?
I for one will NEVER use Uber because of this investment.
Wouldn't it be useful, if you were managing a vast cohort of sleeper cells, to have fleets of couriers who could go anywhere and be seen as ordinary and legitimate in their doings?
