Cabbies Weigh in on Hong Kong Occupy



Occupy Central in Hong Kong affects business for cabbies, so WSJ asks them what they think.

I really appreciate learning about what is going on across the world, far from where I sit.  In particular, I also really appreciate what the Wall Street Journal did in reporting on these cabbies.  Pro-democracy protestors have, I imagine, have a noble cause for their occupation of major arteries in Hong Kong.  But their actions have a direct impact on these cabbies' livelihood.  It's fine to enlist experts or outsiders to weigh in on the occupation, but Theory of Algorithms and The Core Algorithm encourages us, as best as possible, to find out from those who are directly involved in the situation.  It isn't categorically positive or negative, but an enlightening mix of both, as far as cabbies' experiences are concerned.
