Free Green Taxi Cabs In Tampa Are Scab Bums

If you go downtown on the weekends to party, you may have run into the guy above. His name is Tim Ireland. He runs a "free Cab" in Tampa Florida. The only question is - Why?

I don't know what you do for a living but if someone came along and told your boss they would do it for free, you might have a problem with that. If this person was just willing to work for tips when you have a mortgage and a family and responsibilities, you would actually be pissed. Many cab drivers in Tampa are.

The Hillsborough County Transportation Commission believes these free taxi cabs need to be taken off the streets. They really have never heard of such a thing. Who has? Working for free. Who is this Tim Ireland?

"The Green Go vehicles don't fit the legal definition of taxicabs, because they don't have meters. The closest definition they fit is limousines, but the commission has denied limo permits for vehicles that weren't considered sufficiently luxurious."

Tim Ireland of the Green free taxi is a scab. In this time of economic downturn, there is not enough business to support the taxi drivers that have been doing this for years, if not, decades. When somebody comes along and finds bums like Ireland to undercut taxi cabs (by law we must charge $2.25 a mile) He can give them a free ride. Why? Is he that desperate? How much can he make doing this? Most grown men would not do what this little, little, boy does. I guess he lives with his mommy and daddy. How else could he do this. He needs to go back to HCC with the rest of his nerdy friends and leave men alone who take the transportation business seriously.

2137 W MLK - Martin Luther King Tampa

The Pain Management Center at 2137 MLK in Tampa Florida is a very popular destination for taxi drivers. Many drug addicts, dealers and crack heads are coming to Tampa to get long term prescription opium based narcotics and other drugs. They have found a loophole in the law, at the doctors have who are prescribing the drugs that can only be filled at certain pharmacies in the Tampa Bay Area.

Their days are numbered. The police and the DEA are forming sting operations that will soon take these assholes down. Get your drugs soon crackhead or you may not have the chance.

If you call for a cab from the Days Inn Stadium, I work that area, and I may be the one to pick you up to take you to 2137 w MLK. Howdy.

Republican Convention Coming To Tampa Summer 2012

Many of the taxi drivers in Tampa were talking about the Republican Convention that will be here the last week of August 2012. That will be a very good thing. It will be like the Super Bowl but more. It last longer and has about as many people and they all have come to Florida to party.

We have much to offer from golf courses to beautiful beaches. At least, I hope they are beautiful. If the 'drill baby drill' mentality is still in vogue in 2012, the Florida beaches, which used to be white sandy treasures, will be black, murky, gunge. Sarah Palin will not like that.

I was hoping to go to the beach with her. Is this picture photoshoped? I don't know. Palin is not nude in this shot, but it don't take much imagination if you know what I mean. Nice rack!

If the Republicans put money in my pocket - they got my vote.

Rack 'um Dano'!

Change For A Twenty

It seems most customers will give you a twenty dollar bill no matter what the amount of the fare. The first two fares I had today went short, and they did not let me down. They gave me twenties for 5-6 dollar fares. Yikes! That wipes out all of my change (cab drivers do not begin their day with thousands of dollars on us). I went on my third fare.

He is going from Albany and North B to Howard and Mississippi (I could only spell this because of the jingle I learned in 5th grade). I ask him if he has exact change. He says no, he was going to give me a twenty. So we stop at the convenience store at Howard and Morrison. He goes inside, gets some cigs, and comes back. We are set.

When I get him to his house, he hands me a twenty dollar bill! What! We just went to the store. He was a little drunk and said just keep it. I was not trying to rip him off.

When he got out of the cab I looked at it and it was a 1928 twenty gold backed bill. You don't see many of them anymore. I'm not sure how many people have seen the gold backed $20 bill. All I've ever seen were images and the signature was of A.W. Mellon. Is that who I think it is?

I know the driver Joe down on Britton Plazza, he buys old currency. I might a little more than face value.

I have always understood that in time of economic downturn, you will find old currency and coins in circulation. People are desperate.
