...ok, seriously?

So apparently, taxi drivers in NYC are planning to go on STRIKE tomorrow morning at 5am.
what are they protesting?
prices?
more vacation days?
better cars?
NOPE.

They are striking because of a proposal to put GPS technology and credit card capability in every cab.

WHAT. THE. HELL?

Drivers claim that this will allow the city to keep tabs on them. I'm no genius, but they can probably do that anyway, without GPS in your cab. The mayor says that the city wants to HELP people, help them find lost items and make it easier in general--and that's alright with me.

They're planning a two day strike.

The only redeemable quality about this strike is that Fashion week starts tomorrow and it will be pretty funny seeing all those editors hoofing it in their Louboutins.
