How long will that take? Years? Decades? This is a regressive tax and the people least able to afford it will suffer.

MILLIONS of people ride the subway every day. You have more of a chance of dying from the bad fentanyl you buy behind the Applebee’s dumpster in your shit hole town.

There are literally thousands of people in the outer boroughs and less affluent exurbs that are poor and because of bad train and bus service are forced to take 20 year old hoopties in to the city. These people are poor. This is another expense for them.

It does not charge wealthier people more than poorer people. That makes it by definition a regressive tax. It shifts financial burden for a societal problem to people with less resources.

I like that we can argue over what type of asshole this obvious asshole is.

It’s a half assed solution to an actual problem. Richie Rich here should be overjoyed that the streets are being cleared of the riff raff but he is a miser of Dickensian stature.

Working in clearing the streets of the hoi polloi. Has public transport improved? I bet it has not.

Whatever income is generated by regressive congestion pricing will not be nearly enough to upgrade New York’s severely taxed public transit. There will also be the pressure from Albany to just reduce other funds to MTA as any funds from the regressive tax of congestion pricing comes in.

Your regressive theory of trickle down traffic control proves my point. Let them eat MetroCards. The rich can afford premium pricing and will love any ease in congestion.

To paraphrase a great man.

Not an s2000.

Congestion pricing is a regressive tax. Rich assholes will take full advantage of the working poor who are forced to abandon their vehicles or shoulder another financial burden.

One of my favorite songs and how depressing that it is so relevant almost 60 years later.

yep

Oof.

Jesus Christ. Extremism has been a known and largely ignored problem in our armed forces for decades. It’s only going to get worse under Shitler.

So in other words, “If other guys do terrible things, then it’s okay to do terrible things.” Being a human being is hard. Typical magat moron. Plenty of blame to go around but the lion’s share goes to the xtian fascists of the republican party.

I really want the Confederate States to secede before they destroy the rest of us.

Petey prefers other bodily fluids. Don’t say which, he’s litigious.

I think it’s awesome how the American wealthy built and armed modern China by looting our Middle Class.
