And tax generated from things totally unrelated to roads are also used to fund roads - so what exactly is your point?

Which hypothesis? The one about automated vehicles, or the fact that electric rail transit gets cheaper as ridership increases?
If you look at Germany, for example a substantial sum is raised from tolls imposed on trucking. Which is kind of interesting as regards this topic here, because in the U.S. some railroads operated profitably, returning dividends every year for a century or more (which is frankly astonishing for any business) - until…
More likely, mass transit will really take off. Small autonomous vehicles aren’t an efficient use of space or energy, nor could they ever be considered the end-all, be-all solution to traffic and accessibility in cities.
The funny thing is this: the railroads operated profitably, in some cases companies paying dividends every year for over a century straight - until interstates were built and offered extremely subsidized competition. And now people shit themselves when somebody asks that the railroads get a few bucks too.
You do realize that fuel taxes only cover a portion of the building and upkeep of public roads, right?
Not understanding what a light hearted joke is has gotten so sooo old.
The 1000 still had a 2-stroke. The 4-strokes didn’t come in until after the 1000 was discontinued.
I must be seeing a different lead image than you.
Old post now, but the thing that strikes me reading this whole thread is that you repeatedly write as though all rape fantasy is about people fantasizing about raping. The reality is this is pretty rare, relatively speaking, compared to people fantasizing about being raped. Somewhat similar to how more people…
Murder isn’t sex, in case you didn’t get the memo. Just because somebody likes sex and wants to murder doesn’t mean both those fantasies spring from the same root. Some people just happen to be into multiple awful things simultaneously.
You’re right. It was Bernie. Not Trump and his supporters. Bernie ruined the election. Obviously that’s what happened. That’s the most reasonable explanation. If you live in a cave and have no interest in being remotely sensible about anything.
You do realize Hillary lost the election right?
But the popular kids said Hillary was cool! I wanna be cool too!
Why would I care, when literally everything you’ve written is total bullshit?
Well, now we know you’re the bigot in this situation. Not her.
Bernie didn’t need to make the Dems look bad, Hillary did a F’n fine job of that. Sorry, not sorry. I don’t even like Bernie, and he would have lost as well in my opinion. But to act like he could somehow be to blame for Hillary not being elected is patently stupid.
It’s weird, on twitter and tumblr I saw plenty of people quite cynical about Clinton relating to POC. It’s only sites where writers are paid to tell people what to think that this attitude seemed reversed.
