I'm sure they're sharper than you Einstein. The majority of cab drivers are from a different country and come from different backgrounds. Therefore, they have no voice. This wasn't an investment loss. This was a "taking" and the city of Anchorage will hear from their lawyer. The city of Anchorage made the rules and regulations and the permit holders abided by every single one of them. Alaska Yellow Cab, Bill Evans, and Eric Musser will be the only ones that will benefit from this ordinance. Where as permit holders/cab drivers will suffer driving people like you from point A to point B on holidays, bad conditions, early mornings, & late nights while majority of the customers are: 1) Intoxicated, vomiting, barely conscious, & can barely stand. 2) Vulgar - because the customer thinks they can treat the cab driver any way they choose to. 3) Abusive - yes cab drivers do get assaulted or spit on from the customer because AGAIN the customer had a "bad" day and takes it out on the cab driver.
