Calling the Associated Press “left” is just a blatant admittance that the right’s ideas are not based on facts and reality. This bot is trash propaganda and I call on mods everywhere to ban it.
Hey man nothing wrong with dressing how he wants but boy is he a fucking asshole incel bigot who vastly over-extends his intelligence into areas for which he knows nothing about.
I thought you were supposed to not admit to the bribe.
The argument has always been, “No, we just give to candidates who support our cause.” Of course everyone knows that’s BS, because the support always follows the cash. But then here comes this dumbass and just- up and admits to corruption.
Even ignoring privatized services, taxes in Texas are higher than California for the average person. It’s a total myth unless you belong to the upper class.
“Every other road…” serious [citation needed] there. I live in San Antonio (you know 6th, largest city, metro of 2.2m people) and there’s not a single toll road. Austin, Dallas and Houston have a few but it’s by far not every other road. You can get around on 10, 35, 45 and the corresponding ring roads just fine.
Also the property taxes here are quite high compared to a lot of other states, but as such there’s no state income tax.
User fees are so variable. We have a commuter rail system that is financially destitute because it was user-fee based and then #covid. Now it’s in mortal disrepair - I know what I said - and trying to reduce services but keep prices high - shrinkflation - to remain financially viable.
Rail competes with flights and driving for business. People are choosing not to take trains because it’s worse than flying or driving. If you build it to the point where it’s better than flying or driving, people will use it. Americans have no aversion to trains, they have aversions to bad service. See the Brightline projects and the Acela Express. High-speed, high-quality rail can work and be profitable in America.
Road tolls in Texas compete with being unemployed. People have no choice but to drive and pay because of Texas’s horrendous urban design.
