I tweeted yesterday about how it's perverse that the cost of travelling by train has risen above inflation but fuel tax has been cut in real terms since 2010, and I got someone with an XR avatar saying I had a London-centric mindset. Then again, like most of the environmental movement in the UK, XR are too busy tying themselves to rail construction equipment to protest against the government's massive road building plans, so…

I mean, in nominal terms, fuel tax is less now than it was on October 1st, 2010, whereas rail fares are 33-50% higher (depending on type of ticket).

So Youtube hit Cr1tikal with a strike for the Video of mascots beating up a dude that's road raging: https://twitter.com/MoistCr1TiKaL/status/1300956667186737152 As you can see he called out Markiplier, who has also used that video, who agrees with him: https://twitter.com/markiplier/status/1300991159716597760 Teamyoutube responded: https://twitter.com/markiplier/status/1301163007649611776 https://twitter.com/markiplier/status/1301164188136431616

State fuel taxes focused on cities like LA and SF can be crippling for rural places where long commutes are unavoidable. Of course you also see the opposite problem in places like Texas where horrible car-focused suburban sprawl happens in places like Houston and Dallas where a fuel tax would be good incentive to focus on public transit and denser housing. suburban sub development is a grift and increasing fuel taxes would do absolutely fuckall to stop it

Some significant fraction of the other issues are conditions that were caused by covid.

Yeah these idiots are seeing "died of being unable to breathe due to pneumonia induced by covid" or "died of heart failure induced by covid" and going "aha, an underlying condition!" Didn't know there were so many insurance employees on twitter.

No, I'm not talking minor poo poo, major poo poo, major horrific animal abuse. Remember the guy who killed his cat and put that on Youtube? Still has his account. He never had strikes over it, he took those videos down himself when the law got involved.
