It just seems so odd to regulate certain industries.I understand for things like electricity delivery because it would be ridiculous to have ten companies running lines through the neighborhood to you house.
The government has also made the argument that certain sin type products need heavy regulation to protect us from ourselves and while I may not agree I can at least follow the logic. For cab fares though I can't understand how it was sold as a good idea in the first place. Why is it such a bad thing for different cabs to charge different rates. Restaurants do it all the time and no one complains. Heck, did you know that Superstore charges more money for pop if you walk through the parking lot and buy it at the liquor store?
