The Upshot
Blame Uber for Congestion in Manhattan? Not So Fast
Average traffic speeds have declined in the heart of Manhattan, and although Uber may play a part, it’s hard to prove that case.The actual situation is the City of New York granted the cab operators a monopoly in return for regulation of numbers and rates. Uber and its competitors are threatening that monopoly. Politically, the city cannot defend a monopoly it is legally obligated to defend.
The monopoly has limited competition between cab operators to support high enough fares to allow safe and clean cab service.
Uber and its imitators will not survive as a self regulating market cannot function in the environment.

Should Doctors Get Report Cards?
Doctors and a patient discuss the value of giving grades to doctors.No brain dead system can quickly substitute for intelligent decisions.
I am forced to the conclusion that surgeons are often not broadly intelligent.

Video: Cuomo and Biden Unveil La Guardia Plans
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York and Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. announced a plan to completely rebuild La Guardia Airport in New York by 2021.http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/28/nyregion/la-guardia-airport-to-be-rebuilt-by-2021-cuomo-and-biden-say.html
Air traffic is at saturation.
More buildings and aircraft parking will not improve air traffic.
The T.S.A. prevents a better passenger experience.
The greatest improvement that could be made is a fast rail link to Newark Liberty Airport.
