Rafa, one post is not enough to express the respect I have for you and what you have done for our sport. You have inspired millions of children to start playing tennis and I think that’s probably greatest achievement anyone can wish for. Your tenacity, dedication, fighting spirit is going to be taught for decades. Your legacy will live forever. Only you know what you had to endure to become icon of tennis and sport in general.
A lesson in critical thinking I got in undergrad:
Econ 1 prof hands us an article about airlines overbooking & offering money at the gate to bump passengers. Article argues we should ban this. Reasoning is that it’s exploitative: poorer people overwhelmingly more likely to get bumped because they’ll take the cash and a business traveler won’t.
Class is mostly split on whether it’s reasonable. Prof asks one question: when we ban this, will the poor people who were taking the bump fee thank us for taking away the option? Will the price they pay to fly go up or down?
Clearly people took the bump fee because the money mattered to them. Also, airlines will just raise ticket prices if they can’t overbook, which hurts poorer people more. Taking away options is almost never good.
It’s really incredible how often this pattern plays out: people like this guy below with his UCLA & law degree tell poor people: “you don’t understand, you’re being exploited. Here, let me take away this opportunity you’ve been seeking out so you don’t get exploited anymore.”
There are genuinely tons of people on Twitter right now who implicitly think drivers are going to thank Minneapolis for destroying their option to earn. They won’t.
Disclosure: I worked at Uber and helped launch UberX. My aim was not to depress wages for gig workers. My aim was to allow gig work to be an option for people in the first place.
And just like that, @austintexasgov lifts the mandates on parking so that homeowners & small businesses can make decisions about car storage on their properties 🎉
Thank you to @ZoForAustin for leading the way, and expanding on @ChrisRileyATX's efforts years ago!
