@pecet@101010.pl @Moosader You don't in the US; each country has different requirements. (This has led to financial ruin for some who owned a medallion in NYC.)

And of course Uber's lawyers know what they're doing, so they aren't doing anything illegal, obviously. (for some definition of "illegal", at least?)

I think the implication here is someone is annoyed with Uber for... something: bad pay? congestion? crime? Or do people actually like the weird rent-seeking medallion thing?
