Ride-share company Uber filed a legal petition Friday against the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission about upcoming driver pay rate increases.

The rate increases the petition is seeking to halt were approved in mid-November by the commission. They are supposed to go into effect Dec. 19.Under the adjustments, the per-minute rate is slated to go up over 7%. The per-mile rate is supposed to go up nearly 24% compared to what the transportation costs component of the metric was when the original rate was adopted in 2019, according to a city government document.

In a notice, the New York Taxi and Limousine Commission projected that with the new rates, high-volume for-hire services drivers would receive at least for a 7.5-mile trip that lasts 30 minutes, which would be "up more than $4.00 from the original rates and up more than $2.50 from the current rates." Uber driver Karim Amrani sits in his car parked near the San Francisco International Airport parking area.

New York City Plan to Involuntarily Hospitalize Some Mentally Ill Homeless Faces Legal ChallengeCivil-rights groups are asking a federal judge to block New York City’s new policy to hospitalize homeless people who are severely mentally ill hmm, i'm torn on this one, because there are a lot of homeless people in my area that are obviously suffering from severe mental health disorders. it's very apparent that some of them need some sort of help and/or support. So let them die in the gutter like street scum? How about solutions rather than blocking those attempting to find a way to help the mentally ill? Better to get them some help instead of abandoning them to a life of misery, helplessness, and pain. What else should be done?
