A bike ride isn't going to fix this. Politicians losing their jobs or kickbacks will fix this.

You've just described how they do respond to induced demand.
Build nice roads and subsidize them, and they will start using them despite not needing them before, then they will become more reliant on them. Which is induced demand.

> All that said, I would love to understand the reasoning that the containers from the port aren't being put on rail cars instead of trucks. Rail is just so much more efficient and environmental.
It's because we keep expanding the roads. It's called induced demand. Attempting to solve the problem is actually what creates the problem.
Force them to use tracks, and they will. And, it will be better for everyone.

We actually could fix this if we collectively decided to. It'd just take actual effort from a lot of folks who don't care to put forth effort.

Sounds like we need to take their power away and vote for how the money is spent.

But all the other motherfuckers in your way could have easily taken public transit, walked, or biked, or rode a scooter, and then there wouldn't be a problem.

Suggest to walk or transit and not drive anyway. Then you don't worry about tunnel traffic or any of that other jazz.

Crime is already legal, because the police do absolutely nothing.

If the police can't solve these crimes and jail the criminals then maybe we need to put bounties on the heads of these people. I'm sure the community members could bag these turds if there were rewards.
One thief corpse = 1 monetary reward.
I mean, or the police could just do their job. You know. Either way works. Depends what kind of society we want to live in. It is our choice.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Landlords / Renters, with the recent tax hike, how much do you anticipate % of rent to be raised? by balaca40
Yes, and supplier cost is not a factor in supply & demand pricing. Only supply quantity and demand quantity. Supply cost is not a term in the equation.
By that logic, you think the prices would go down if taxes or other landlord costs went down? LMAO GTFO
You're confusing this with commodities.

I would agree with all that....
...if we had a police department that enforced laws.
We don't. Times, they are-a-changin'. We have to enforce laws ourselves.
