Fly- tipping - if councils hadn't started charging to take waste at their sites, there would have been far less fly tipping. Now councils are going to have to pay far more to clear these messes than what they have taken in charges.
@Waymo one of your robo "cars" has been spotted charging on a TAXI ONLY charger.
Just to re-iterate - THESE ARE NOT TAXIS.
And they never will be. Taxis are publicly hired, fully accessible vehicles with a driver who has undergone the rigorous testing regime known as The Knowledge of London.
Despite what our thick media say, Robo-taxis, you are not. You are robo cars and when you eventually tout for business, you will be robo-private-hire cars.
Any use of the term "Taxi" in your branding or marketing will be against your operating rules.
Perhaps you need to make that clear to your test drivers.
I am 74 years old, and I adopted a German Shepherd whose owners wanted to have him euthanized.
When my son told me about Hunter, my heart broke. A young couple had brought this beautiful 3-year-old German Shepherd to the shelter and were asking to have him put down because they were moving and "couldn't handle such a big dog anymore." A dog they had raised since he was a puppyโthey just cast him aside as if he meant nothing. The shelter, of course, refused and took him in, but when I heard the story, I couldn't stop thinking about him.
I told my son I wanted to adopt Hunter, but he was hesitant. He said, "Mom, he's a big dogโwhat if he's too much for you?" But I've had big dogs before, and I know how to handle them. Besides, when I met Hunter, I immediately saw that he was a gentle, obedient soul. I brought him home that very day. Now, Hunter follows me everywhere, curls up at my feet, and looks after me as if he knows I saved him. It's hard to imagine anyone considering him a burden.
He's part of my family now, and I'll never let him go.
