i feel like ive definitely read in the nyt and similar elite liberal media these sorts of characterizations that getting fat with age is inevitable rather than a product of the fact that society (especially the culture in high-pressure prestige jobs like lawyers and financial types and media people that make up the audience of the nyt) require you to discard your health for your job and make it basically impossible to have a job and family responsibilities (that in a sane society would have some sort of social safety net helping you) and also have time and energy to work out and eat healthily

"What we need instead of more money for roads is billions going to silicon valley"

susan b buffering
Nov 14, 2016


quote:

Transportation economists have long sought to make drivers pay their fair share without raising the federal gas tax—a political nonstarter. In recent decades, a broad swath of experts has settled on an idea with the potential to fix the three big problems that come with cars: road damage, congestion, and pollution. The answer? Charge ‘em by the mile.

The only reason "make every road a toll-road" isn't considered a non-starter is because nobody has been stupid enough to try it.

It's also freight trucks and weather that cause 99% of road damage, not commuters or minivans.

What they are thinking of is having GPS on every registered car and billing electronically

Now consider how much more complicated that is to implement compared to raising the federal gas tax, which doesn't require silicon valley rent seeking at all

capitalism invites parasitic rent-seeking instead of obvious braindead solutions to infrastructure problems

American society can very easily afford infrastructure if you understand material wealth comes from labor not money and that we have a huge army of involuntarily unemployed people.

That reserve army of the unemployed is why labor is so cheap for all the small business tyrants that run local politics.
