I think we are on the same page about this and making the same point in different language. I do think that because they are making profits, they should have to pay a fee, but the significance of that fee at this price point is attainable enough that it can be justified due to the generally tax liability of the public.

Sorry for the confusion. We are saying the same thing! 👍

> mass improvement in certain small areas has a negative impact

This phrase doesn't make any sense. How can there be mass improvement in small areas? Also, how is this negative? Are you insinuating that improvement to these small areas is negatively affecting other areas? But how so?

Good points. Maybe.

Not a good look for rideshare companies who pride themselves on saying their system is full proof and safe. Beyond an app on someone's phone, getting into a stranger's car requires A LOT of trust on a societal scale that isn't set up for such. Kinda crazy we've talked ourselves into thinking this is okay instead of just investing public transportation like we've been doing for almost 100 years prior.

>That fall, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan was standing at a fenced-off site affixed with Boring signs near Fort Meade and telling a videographer to “get ready” for a high-speed train from Baltimore to Washington. Mr. Hogan declined to comment.

>An aide to Mr. Hogan toured a parking-lot test site at the company’s then-headquarters near Los Angeles International Airport, getting a look at a tunnel-boring machine the company purchased secondhand. Boring named it Godot, the title character in Samuel Beckett’s play about a man who never shows up.

>The Republican Hogan administration sped up the bureaucratic process for Boring, granting a conditional permit in October 2017 and an environmental permit a few months later.

>All Boring had to do was bring its machine and start digging, former Maryland officials said. But months, and then years, passed. Maryland was waiting for Godot.

>Boring deleted the Maryland project from its website last year.

🤦🤦🤦 Larry and friends getting duped when it was staring them right in the face.

Wow... That went from 0 to 100 very quickly. I was simply pointing out that not everyone is a murderer here, but YES there are murderers. You must live a very comfortable, sheltered life to think that any person acting strange is a killer. Or, maybe you just left a lot of info out of your story?? Don't have to be a dick about it.

I think you need to go to a dictionary and look up the definition of a serial killer, well even "killer" for that matter. A scary guy in a park hold some random objects while trying to engage you does not make him a serial killer, nor any killer for that matter. Oh, and that whole thing about the killer feeding his victims to others at his local butcher shop is just an urban legend. Good grief.

Hmm, I don't think so, but I could be mistaken. I'll do some more research and report back. At the end of the day, I do agree that anyone should exercise some caution with the current group, no matter if they have good experience or not, given what happened in Howard. That was disgraceful and embarrassing.
