While the Kansas City Royals face a challenge to secure a fairy tale World Series Championship, another local biz continues to reign supreme.
To wit . . .
LAST NIGHT OUR TKC BLOG COMMUNITY WAS THE THE FIRST NEWSY OUTLET TO REPORT THAT LYFT IS TEMPORARILY SUSPENDING OPERATIONS IN KANSAS CITY!!! MEANWHILE, KANSAS CITY TAXI DUDE BILL GEORGE IS SURELY MAKING A MINT AMID ALL THIS WORLD SERIES TRAFFIC!!!
Here's the record of our weird conversation last night BREAKING NEWS OF THIS DEVELOPMENT WITH THE HELP OF KICK-ASS TKC TIPSTERS along with strange claims from competing Internets trolls that we delete comments, when in reality . . . We mostly don't care what you d-bags talk about and haven't touched the comments in months, mostly we don't read because we're too busy breaking news with the help of our AWESOME KANSAS CITY FREE SPEECH BLOGGY COMMUNITY . . .
Confirmation of our reporting right here: Lyft will temporarily suspend operations in Kansas City
But I digress . . . Here's the most important part . . .
The World Series is prime time for cab companies and before the big game in Kansas City, George has PUSHED BACK the Somali cabbies and DEFEATED an Internets ride-share movement for the moment with the help of local politicos like Mayor Sly and most of the City Council.
Fair play: Uber is making waves in Kansas City and getting some good press in Sports Illustrated for their luxury limo-like service.
Still . . .
LIKE IT OR NOT, BILL GEORGE REIGNS SUPREME AMID THE KANSAS CITY TAXI GAME!!!
Possible future plans for Bill George . . .
- Talk around the Kansas City Taxi Cab campfire is that Mr. George has big plans to TAKE THE KANSAS CITY AIRPORT CROWN with the help of local politicos. It's probably an exaggeration but talk about moving his cabs BEYOND the front of the line is a real possibility.
- For the election, look for George to secure his interest with some well-timed alliances. KC Transportation Group is always a regular amid MO Ethics campaign finance reports but expect more well-placed appearances in the very near future.
- Find Bill George at EVERY ONE OF THE KANSAS CITY TAXI INVESTIGATION HEARINGS and City Hall insiders tell us he's already scheduled for multiple dates to provide his testimony and insight.
In the meantime, Bill George is enjoying the benefits of his virtual monopoly now ruling local streets in a way that Internets efforts just can't compete with for the moment.

More appropriate title: Bill doing better than the newspapers.
ReplyDeleteWe heard it took you two weeks to find out this common knowledge, dumbshit.
ReplyDeleteLYFT = RIPOFF
ReplyDeletego UBER!
"we" = kc star mad about more layoffs.
ReplyDeleteSly = Bill's puppet.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to say bill's bitch but that's too much.
ReplyDeletecold-ass white boy,right there
ReplyDeleteAT the very least, George doesn't pretend to be a philanthropist. The same can't be said of Burns and Mac
ReplyDeletekc = corruption
ReplyDeleteGeorge? Is he with that steak house Mafia?
ReplyDelete6:57 the citizens who live here have absolutely no idea how corrupt this city is!
ReplyDelete9:24 oh yes they do they just dont give 5 shits about it, they are ignorant about who is voted into leadership here, and could care less unless that leadership effects them directly, which the leadership takes into account when they sell their bullshit!
ReplyDeleteThere is something sexy about this cat.
ReplyDeleteMr French screwing over the city one deal at a time.
ReplyDeleteThis guy is the most unabashed liar I have ever known. Plus, he doesn't own his company, some French company does. He and daddy sold it long ago. He's a pretender using other people's money to screw his fellow citizens and to help his mafia bosses get richer.
ReplyDeleteHe runs illegal operations in the city too so why bitch about them.
