Then he was paid in an asset that is rapidly losing value

Before uber NYC medallions were worth $1 million plus, last time I checked they were worth about 250k (and I’m amazed they actually have that much value)

If there was ever an example of artificial scarcity, it was the medallion system. A system setup to screw everyone except for the politicians and medallion owners. Instead of money going into improving the service, it went to pay off the stupid medallions. It's legalized fraud.

Nope. I came up with that on my own. What did they say?
