    NYC's fourth driver suicide. Yellow cab drivers are in financial ruin due to the unregulated expansion of Uber. What was a living wage job now pays under minimum. We need: - to call Uber drivers what they are: EMPLOYEES, not contractors - Fed jobs guarantee - Prep for automationhttps://twitter.com/noamscheiber/status/976567993579769856 …

        This is pretty standard these days. The search for ways to eliminate jobs and lower wages is covering all fields. The war on the middle and low class is rampant.

        No raising minimum wages to 15 dollars eliminates jobs and businesses!

        The price of taxi medallions is a significant part of this. Something needs to be done to prevent medallion holders' excessive rent seeking from drivers if you want to solve this issue.
