Free market, bitches! Prices. Only. Go. Up!
wait why would less bike lanes make anything cheaper?? it's just sectioning off a portion of the road?
You turn the bike lane into street parking. No idea how this makes things cheaper, but I guess the argument is two extra parking spots per block is going to make all the difference.
yeah some dude paying 7 bucks an hour while he picks up taco bell (idk the hourly rate for parking im not american) is gonna break profit records
This politician isn’t American either, this is in Sydney
In free markets prices generally go down
Wait, you're serious?
Compare the percent of income required for seasonings and fresh fruits from around the world now vs 200 years ago.
That’s probably more of a function of our switch from consumption taxes to income tax.
What're you talking about? It's a function of global trade lol.
You might want to actually look into the history of global trade sometime.
im aware
Evidently not.
You're just saying no learn the history of the world. That's not an argument, you need to point to your actual criticism specifically rather than a copout
heck compare the cost of labour 40 years ago to now
