You can say it til your face turns blue, but congestion pricing is not regressive.

Who shit in your cornflakes this morning sunshine?

“it’s stupid, it will be mismanaged and only cause inconvenience for rich, not so rich and poor people regressively.”

And why no discussions about the demand side of the drug trafficking?

It might work if some of these grants actually happen, instead of putting the tariffs first and hoping it works out.

It’s not even as complicated as economies of scale.

As a neighbor to the US, you want Mexicans to be able to build a middle class life - many working in automotive facilities are doing just that. Holding a job that pays well enough and brings up skills and helps the nation overall.

Lets do all that, but lets be sure to keep lowering taxes on corporations and billionaires as well!

My kid is in school in Queens; this is absolutely 100% the parents’ fault. There is rarely any need to drive your kids in the first place: https://steinhardt.nyu.edu/research-alliance/research/spotlight-nyc-schools/how-far-do-nyc-students-travel-get-school

Maybe we don’t need to drop out little darlings off directly at the school’s door. I get that not every family lives where it’s possible for them to get their kids to school on foot or bike, where school bus service (for public schools) might be inconvenient, and that some kids are a little young to send them on…

Imagine, for a moment, that your situation is purely your own. Imagine that other people exist. Now imagine - instead of dogs - some of those other people have children with car seats, or adult coworkers that often ride together, or a hundred other situations that would require a livable back seat.  Those kinds of…

I can’t count the number of times where something mildly insane happened to me and I later on wondered why the hell I didn’t do X, because obviously X would have been clear and reasonable thing to do, rather than Y, which was either somewhat useless or completely counter-productive. Things like this put us in weird…

A nice side effect of my dashcam is that is makes ME a more, umm, polite driver. Any time I get fired up by others’ stupidity, I think, do I really want to record my own aggressive response?  

No money for Musk

Counterpoint: A fwd sedan with a summer set of tires and a winter set of tires will perform better, safer and with less expense than a typical AWD sedan. In fact, expenses can be significantly less if you are able to store the 2nd set of wheels/tires in your garage or shed, and swap them out twice/year. This is what i…

I always assumed there was this sizing up going on between trucks. A complex amalgam of size, horsepower, lift, tow mirrors, price, sound, wheels (number, size and width), speed and “what they’re hauling”.

Practically a unicorn. An article about trucks where the author realises that big trucks are basically just a dick measuring ego stroke.

The correct truck is the one you rent from Home Depot for $20 a day.  UNLESS you actually use them for work(not office work) or farm.

Fuck this thing.
