| The union is calling on the city take several actions to provide relief for the city’s struggling taxi industry, including changing rules so taxi drivers aren’t required to replace their vehicles as often

Right! Let's loosen the rules and allow the cabs to be in worse condition than they already are, that will get the customers back! /s

Well, we bail out banks who make shoddy investments.

Most restaurants fail and we don't bail them out.

I think the big banks are a special case because letting them fail may be more expensive than bailing them out.
