I’m not disagreeing with this. But you could make the same argument about nearly every investment.

Ehh, the government isn’t limiting the amount of houses being built, which would drive up demand and price.

Driving a taxi takes little skill. It's insane someone would charge 700k to drive one.
It's even more insane a greedy, fricking idiot would pay for it.
RIP Kenny, anyway.

Gotta love government regulation trying to fix a problem they created.

I don’t think they should. But a frameworks gets put in place either by electing government slobs or by constituent inaction. The law abiding have historically played by the rules, as crappy as they are. It is the lack of certainty with respect to rules and the cronyism thst has small business unable to keep up.

Hijacking a bit here.
As long as countries like Zimbabwe and Venezuela exist, crypto will have a place in this world .
Back on topic, I listened to a NPR Planet Money podcast on the NYC taxi medallions , crazy Union market control.
