Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you've made a few posts expressing your sympathy for people who've lost their O&G jobs this year. Yet, you're literally "laughing your head off" at these people who have lost their investment because, according to you, they've got an easy job and are unskilled.
Your posts come across as incredibly elitist.

I agree it's dickish to point and laugh at these guys, but in each of your examples... yeah, you invested in something you should have known bore some risk and the risk materialized. That is unfortunate for you, but it doesn't necessarily mean you should be treated protectively.
Second point. In this case, we're talking about protection from the free market and other market alternatives that are good for our city and that our city clearly wants. If that hits people in the taxi industry in their pocketbooks, again, unfortunate, but it isn't at all analogous to a flood or natural disaster of some sort.
