New York City has reduced the debt payments for taxi medallion owners who borrowed to buy a medallion.

One of several contributing causes of the medallion owners' problem is the arrival of Uber, which was prepared to lose billions of dollars a year for many years to wipe out the taxi companies.

Uber would have been an injustice simply for the concentration of the industry of replacing many small local companies with one large company, even if there were nothing else wrong with it. But its biggest wrong is to its customers: it makes them run a nonfree app on a nonfree operating system, and they can't pay anonymously since the company does not accept cash.

Uber was compelled to stop running at a loss, and raise its prices. Uber drivers make less than taxi drivers now. Uber is now weak. So choose a real taxi, and pay in cash!
