But I just cannot understand anyone actively trying to cost themselves wages by sanctioning the increase in competition, it just doesn't add up.
I'm not sanctioning an increase in competition.
Cabs aren't the competition, Doom -
other drivers are the competition. They will always find a way to compete against you, and if they have an owner to pay off, they will work even longer to make a living.
In turn, you and every other driver have to work longer to keep up or make less for the same hours.
You limit the competition by improving the standard of driver who gets a badge in the first place. No more "no spekee eengleesh, postcode pleezee" immigrants with a tomtom and no clue.
Fewer drivers = less competition.
Without drivers, cabs are useless and there is no point in accumulating them.

We have answers, Doom. Your just not listening because it doesn't fit with your views.
I posted "rant over?" because what you posted was a less than objective tirade, directed at me and it was 100% wrong. In short, it was a rant and I was asking if it was finished.
