Sure.
Uber's argument is not to deny anything but to accuse Transport for London
of being against innovation.
Elmer Gantry stuff.
It's almost impossible to have a discussion on anything now, not on basics
(please define) and principles (please justify) because the accused, inter
alia, think of any and every argument regardless of relevance.
Yesterday, for instance, after Jeremy Corbyn (Opposition Leader) spoke of
capping rents if he gets power, on to the radio came a chappie for the
landlords saying landlords MUST put up their prices because that's what
happens when there's a shortage and there is a shortage.
And they said "thank you".
Can't they HEAR it?
btw I studied Logic at school until the Headmaster found out what the Eng
Lit teacher was doing with his third period of the week -- "Mr & Mrs Upton,
I had to stop it; I worried that if Lawrence, and the others, study Logic
then they might lose their faith."
Just occasionally I wonder whether it was all to the good to make that
small start on Logic, though it did help when I studied Computing --
fellow Petcers, may I suggest that, if you want a good mental laugh, you
look at Lewis Carroll's book on Symbolic Logic -- that's the one Queen
Victoria got after reading Alice in Wonderland and saying "you must send me
your next book".
It was republished... blimey, not long after Hugh Hefner started liberating
women...
I grow old, I grow old, I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers etc
