FUCKING DO IT

The fee should be about 1000x higher than listed, but shit, do something

The new fee is expected to generate as much as $20 million per year, which really isn’t a lot when you consider how much infrastructure projects can cost. And that’s largely because the proposed fees aren’t exactly punitive. Even if you own a 9,000-lb Hummer EV, you’ll reportedly only pay an extra $29.90 per year. Additionally, the fee would only be charged in the 12 most populous counties because it’s supposed to target the places where pedestrian and bicycle accidents happen the most.

No more half-measures, Walter.

Why even bother to do this if it's such a meaningless amount

rile up the chuds, fan service for the libs and do nothing material all at the same time (aka bog standard dem strategy)

"accomplish nothing, but make the people you hate mad" could be the taglines of both parties tbh

idk the material effect of neoliberalism on the working class has been pretty significant and at least aligns with the bullshit chuds love (bootstraps, no free lunch, etc.). I guess that's pretty bipartisan tho in that libs believe those things too they just pretend it doesn't mean they hate the poor

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
