New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s decision to restrict new Uber and Lyft licenses is uber stupid.

Along with the city council, the mayor has just announced a one-year restriction on new ride-sharing licenses. He’s also established a committee to identify a minimum wage rate for ride-sharing drivers. The mayor says that these changes mean “more than 100,000 workers and their families will see an immediate benefit.”
