Occupy Central in Hong Kong affects business for cabbies, so WSJ asks them what they think.
It is well enough for professors, advisers and pundits to comment on events around the world. But I think it's quite a journalistic privilege to go to where these events are and speak directly with the people who are in the midst of it. I used to travel a lot: from the US and UK, to Kuwait and the UAE, to Singapore and Egypt, and very much enjoy striking up a conversation with my cab driver. Perhaps like bartenders and hairdressers, these cab drivers are among modern day society's unheralded buddies and advisers.
