"In fact you may not realize it, but your need to express your hatred of her lends her stature."

He didn't say "hundreds", he said "A hundred". As in one hundred. Which your own post substantiates.

They say you should never try to be sarcastic in print. Apparently "they" were right. It never once occurred to me that GPP was anything but sarcastic.

It would be nice, but once you build in the weakness that allows the government to do this, you can't keep anyone else from exploiting the same weakness.

Government undermines those shit jobs by siphoning off a huge chunk of the fares paid to regulators and the crony capitalists who pay the regulators to protect their rents. The driver and passenger between them pay for the rent of the taxi license plate and for the rent of the taxi itself, as both the plate and the modifications to the vehicle required by regulators are out of the reach of someone working a "shit job". Uber is providing customers and drivers with the means to cheat crony capitalists out of millions of dollars of income the crony capitalists do literally nothing to earn. Keep the transaction between the driver, the customer and the service provider that puts the two in contact with each other and watch the market provide a better service than a regulated market could possibly imagine accomplishing.

You punish irresponsible people, not responsible people.

Unless it's a civil liability lawsuit, in which case exactly the same thing amounts to negligence.

Anyone who thinks their private communications should be just that... private

I wouldn't mind so long as I had a return ticket.

Sexy is not sexist.

That hasn't got any worse. Hasn't got any better either, but take what you can get, eh?

[rolls eyes] That was exactly my point.

Because when one hands a rent controlled apartment to ones offspring, one is disposing of ones own property, not someone elses. Moron.
