Many changes that end up being pretty good hurt the most vulnerable in the short term. The biggest example of this is the Industrial Revolution.

It's tough to say whether you apply moral leanings towards no disruption at all vs. "in the long term" benefits to everyone, including the most vulnerable among us.

I'm not going to offer an answer, because I'm not sure I have one. I don't want anyone to suffer, but I want everyone to be better off in the end.

Cabbies seem like they're in the heart of every controversy these days - from medallions losing huge amounts of value to wage/tip adjustments.

In the end, do we all benefit?
