Which again begs the question: Why do taxi companies need shills?
Holy balls man this whole thread is jam packed with people who just want a goddamned ride! And are willing to pay for it no less!
The whole crux of this issue is that there exists more people requiring rides than can be satisfied by the status quo ergo there exists an excess of people willing to give the taxi companies their money than the taxi companies can accept.
Seems like a pretty slam-dunk case for me. I'd be looking at getting a piece of that sweet, sweet, ride-giving/money-collecting action by attempting to give more rides in exchange for currency which in turn can be exchanged for goods and services. Like transportation.
So why do the taxi companies need shills? So they can charge more? That doesnt appear to be the case. Why do they need civic protection of their industry? To prevent competition? This seems at least plausible but it makes more sense to prevent competition by accommodating the market yourself and creating a barrier for entry whilst collecting currency in exchange for transportation. You know, that thing that TAXIS DO!
