Is A Law Necessary?

In Sacramento, they want to make a law requiring taxi drivers to speak English. Why? Why don’t the taxi companies require it as a condition of employment? Or do they operate like they do in Denver where all the driver needs is money to rent a cab and have a license? In Denver, the cab companies aren’t in the business of carrying passengers. They’re in the taxi rental business. They don’t care how many cabs are on the road and will put as many out there as they possibly can, even if there are too many already and drivers are going broke. There are always new drivers. They don’t care if you make any money at all. They’ve got theirs. As long as they have gullible would-be cab drivers lined up around the block to give them money to use their cabs, that’s not going to change. (Last Resistance)
