Seems like thesis, antithesis, synthesis.

Thesis: too many taxis result in badservice Antithesis: too many restrictions also result in bad service Synthesis: breaking some of the laws results in better service

Now we talk about regulating the gig economy, a horrible thing mostly brought by Uber and airbnb: let's see where it leads us.




The pendulum of regulation will swing too far in the other direction, it ALWAYS does.

Mostly because the government sits around and does nothing until things get really bad, then they institute very strict rules to prevent a repeat.

Had they gotten involved earlier they would have had more flexibility with the regulations.
