I'm not really against unions because I saw what they brought to the common American worker in the late 19th- and early 20th-century. But in recent years there has been a push back, particularly from the Republican party, as governors in Minnesota and other Midwest states tried to break them. While I feel that unions are integral to improving conditions and still are, I can fully appreciate complaints about their corruption, tactics, and obstruction.
One union that's really pissing me off nowadays is the New York cabbies. Fuck them. I am so sick of their shit. When Bloomberg announced these new green cabs that service anything outside of downtown Manhattan, I flipped my shit. Why the hell do we need a two-tier system of cabs when the ones we already have can, you know, just fucking cover the whole goddamned city like they're supposed to?
I also love how they try to drive out any sense of competition. Not only did they try to prevent Uber from entering the city, they also passed laws that makes it illegal for a car service to pick up someone hailing it. They can only take orders via phone. YOU FUCKERS ARE NOT DRIVING UP HERE. WHEN THE FUCK DID YOU LAST SEE A YELLOW CAB IN THE SOUTH BRONX? WE LITERALLY HAD TO START A WHOLE FUCKING GREEN CAB JUST TO FORCE YOU LITTLE SHITS TO GO THERE. WHY STOP CAR SERVICES WHEN YOU'RE NOT EVEN TRYING TO COMPETE WITH THEM ANYWAY?
