Socialists just don't understand how that works.

Actually this is kind of humorous.

A large share of Seattle’s taxi business is operated by Indian Sikh immigrants.

At least half of the taxi business is operated by foreign born immigrants.

Now, an Indian Hindu immigrant is trying to confiscate their livelihood.

And 90% of them vote Democrat!

Seattle city councilmember Kshama Sawant advocates a bold idea for ending the dispute between taxi companies and rideshare businesses

Gee, A BOLD idea ?

Since when is it a bold idea for government to take over private businesses..?

That idea is as old as 1917...and has failed spectacularly for almost a hundred years...

But... the Marxist keep trying...

All over the country, even around the world, ride share companies like Uber are putting taxis out of business. They have to adapt or die. Government ownership - what a laugh.

Because rideshare companies use high-tech service to lure customers away from taxis, councilmember Sawant says the city should step in.

So high-tech service is intrinsically evil?

Just trying to follow the logic here.

OK. Not really.

Hey, ho, Microsoft has got to go! Washington doesn't need the tax revenue, does it?

———crushed by competiton-——

Restored by rape and robbery.

Once a criminal learns the way to rape the female riders or rob them, the free ride utopia will disappear.

So much of socialism makes sense when you classify it as a mental illness. Not as a single illness, but as a whole group of them, covered in a thick sauce of the seven deadly sins.

In a more reasoned country, they are like life draining parasites, leeches and tapeworms. And when they have total control they make a nation like North Korea. And in their delusion it is paradise. Nobody but a mentally ill person could have such a twisted notion of things.

“The real solution to this problem is for the city to have the app, the smartphone app and the dispatch system and to employ taxi drivers as unionized living wage workers,” Sawant told KIRO-7’s Natasha Chen.”

The real solution is for the taxi companies to buy “apps, smartphone app’s, and dispatch systems” so they are competitive.

When I was a kid there was a classmate who liked to eat paste. He always threw up but he couldn’t stop. Socialists seem to work the same way; their solutions never work but they simply can’t help themselves
