Money. Reporter this isnt sitting well with the new York Taxi Alliance who were protesting outside uber. Once again uber looks to make their wall street profits off drivers. Its shameful that the politics here in new york state prefer to protect our 64 billion company uber instead of the citizens of new york city. Reporter taxi drivers are accusing uber of destroying the taxi industry and leaving its drivers in poverty. Uber will look to starve uber drivers just so they can basically starve taxi drivers. Reporter the taxi industry doesnt like it. They dont like competition. Now theyre competing for drivers. Drivers are the real customers. Drivers are leaving in droves. Hundreds are coming to uber.

When was that . That was back in july of 2014. Ernie thank you so much for that report. All right. Heres
I am honored to be speaking here since the San Francisco Public Library has facilitated so much of my research, let me start by seeing that i am a relatively new arrival to the bay area and i have lived here for less than 20 years. I have read the book, like the cooks tour of San Francisco and a another book, and so i also read through the citys newspaper archives looking for food terms and i poured over the directories and this is the result .

The police are searching for the suspects who shot two Police Officers in ferguson missouri. The community once again finds itself at the center of a nationwide debate about race and policing. Protests back outside the Ferguson Police headquarters. No to violence, but continuing battle for racial justice. We came to remember that we are all connected. Until we recognize the humanity in one another, we cannot heal. The shooting of two Police Officers showed justo a difficult it was to heal the ones in ferguson. Tension is running high in a town that has been at the heart of the racial dispute. What happened last night was a pure ambush. This is not someone trying to bring healing to ferguson. This was a damn punk who is trying to sow discord in an area that is trying to get its act together and bring together a community that has been fractured for too long.
