I’m not disagreeing with you overall; I’m just not sure about some of the details.  Perhaps there’s some kind of system we could work out where people on assistance get a discount or credit or something.

The specific magic fairy that you’re counting on hardly matters.

OK, so let’s agree that a gas tax is regressive and punitive until some magic fairy comes along and completely redoes the geography, infrastructure, etc. of the country so we can relocate the populations into denser areas more easily served by public transportation.

CR has admitted that they are particularly hard on manufacturers infotainment systems (except for the two automakers they’re particularly biased towards). There has been this massive push to make everything a menu button on that infernal screen. With that, it’s failure renders a LOT of the car’s systems inoperative.
