New York Taxi drivers make around 90K/Year. The drivers are almost all foreign born, and a lot of them are arab and muslim. The cabs are in poor to moderate condition on average, and the hygiene of the drivers came with them from their home countries. Most of them ignore the laws of the cab like picking up bx/bk/nj fare, and talking on their cell phones. The drivers do NOT own their own vehicles and are assigned a random car each day, so they are driving the car for the first time every day. They work 24 hour shifts, and 48 off. It’s a complete, utter mess.
It’s a Britishism.
No, the Brits say “maths”
Thanks. I guess it’s not as simple as I thought.
“maths”
Short for mathematics. Technically correct I suppose.
Now, “Aluminium” I can’t defend.
When riding my motorcycle the other day my first thought was “Hey cops! I’m not wearing a seat belt! MUAHAHAHHA!”
Only Nash would really know!!
RIP. Sad to hear.
Maths- is how they said it in Britain. They also say pavements, instead of pavement.
Seat belts will save you about 50% of the time and kill you about 50% of the time. I guess you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
There’s a big seat in front of the kids.
What was the name of the Muslim who was driving the taxi? Bob Simon of 60 minutes died the same way. Musliod driving the cab “loses” control.
“They work 24 hour shifts, and 48 off. It’s a complete, utter mess.”
How is this even allowed when truckers can only drive for 8?

My Russian and Chinese colleagues use the term ‘maths’ sometimes. English is the chosen language for mathematics. I had a Chinese math book that was about 90% written in English.
He was one whose genius, he believed, was perhaps inseperable from his mental illness. He said that he wouldn’t have developed his mathematical theories and proofs had his brain thought normally. In his later years, he was able to function unmedicated for his paranoid schizophrenia. He says he taught himself to intellectually reject his delusions because psychotropic medications severely impaired his mathematical thinking.
He became very interested in the field of evolutionary psychology, as a result of both his own paranoid schizophrenia and that of his son’s. He posited some theories about the adaptive role of mental illness in the evolution of human consciousness. But most of it is well above my pay grade.
He calculated wrong.
Not quite.
They save you about 98 percent of the time when the collision involves occupants being ejected.
The ground transportation industry is about as corrupt as they come.
It’s really a mobster mentality industry.
