The taxi business is dead in the United States. This industry is going the way of the Payphone and the neighborhood video store. Did I mention Kodak film? I know technology has changed the nature of work but in this case the politicians are who ruined the taxi industry. They were unwilling to support a regulated industry. Keep in mind, almost all businesses are regulated. For some reason, the politicians decided that because of the popularity of uber, they would allow Rideshare to operate until state legislators made them legal. Therefore, killing off my business. Why it was transportation and not construction, hairstyling, pizza delivery, hot dog stands, insurance, law, and so forth, I will take to my grave not knowing the answer. All I know, is that my life has been ruined. It is over. I cannot make a living. I'm being evicted from my home I cannot pay my electric bill or any other bill. My life is in shambles and I face an uncertain future. Is there really anything more to say? ...
No offense, but you could make more money begging on a street corner. Try it for a month, you can always go back to taxi driving if I'm wrong. Might even make a good blog series, like some authors do when they want to get real life for their stories. Be honest, say " Unemployed Taxi Driver - Needs money and another dead end job " Might even get you on TV and you get a chance to promote yourself and maybe find even a better job. Give them a card with you web site address too.
