Face it, it's not like cable and taxis were very consumer friendly anyways.

That's the whole point of the post. They're making things shit again, just like cable and taxis.

Yeah, and benefiting fewer people.

It's like people forgot how scary taxis were. Like you would legitimately get into a car you weren't sure had seatbelts

love the username ha

But were they more worker friendly than the current models? Because the new things are getting just as consumer hostile.

They're still lightyears more consumer friendly than the old model. I remember hostile drivers, vehicles that were falling apart, praying you wouldn't go bankrupt when the bill was issued, etc etc.
