they will just rack up fines on their prolemobile until it's impounded and then stab a wagecuck out of frustration and desperation. the smarter among them will use fake out of state plates. but ultimately, proles are gonna do what they do. the cost of this will be borne by wagecucks both because they dutifully pay every tax and because the services they need will pass the tax onto them. all this does is siphon money from people into government coffers, where it will be spent on dem programs for proles. and the umc wagecucks here celebrate. |

|
Date: January 16th, 2025 10:55 AM Author: Stirring flesh resort associate it's imposing a price that's only meaningful for the lower class. the goal being to restrict their ability to use a common pool resource so richer people are free to use a public resource more.
how about we just ban cars from MFH unless they have a permit that requires a justification (e.g. blue collar prole tradesmen?) of course THAT will never happen because montclair richmos don't want to park and ride. which is what this is all about -- restricting the use of a public good from people with limited resources by imposing a flat cost on the use so that people with abundant resources can use a public good more. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2025 11:10 AM Author: Sable brunch skinny woman NYC streets weren't functioning as a public good. That was the whole point.
Given the need to limit use, imposing a price is the absolute least invasive mechanism to do so. No need to justify anything to a bureaucrat; if the trip is worth more than $9 you make it, if you don't, you don't. In the case of tradesmen and other commercial use, the customer will pay for it or if the customer isn't willing to, then the trip shouldn't be made at all. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2025 11:15 AM Author: Stirring flesh resort associate my point is that it's regressive. the value of $9 is relative. it's nothing to the biglol partner who wants to drive out of MFH but is irate at the traffic caused by the filthy proles. it's significant to the paycheck to paycheck prole commuter.
yeah, a lot of retarded taxes get imposed because it's the "absolute least invasive mechanism." and now MFH is an expensive shithole with a nonfunctioning government.
solution: MORE TAXES! |
|
Date: January 16th, 2025 11:18 AM Author: Sable brunch skinny woman Why do you think that it is an interesting observation that poor people have less money than rich people? I completely agree that everything that has a price is more affordable to rich people than it is to poor people.
Nonetheless, imposing a price is the least invasive and distortive mechanism to manage use of a limited resource. |

|
Date: January 16th, 2025 11:53 AM Author: Sable brunch skinny woman You need to slow down. The quoted excerpt is not making the observation that imposing a price will curtail use.

this is kike sophistry. "i didn't say X, i just said X wasn't shitlib."
regardless, my summary of the argument is you saying "X will solve Y" and me saying "but the means of X are unfair and exacerbates other problems" is accurate. if it's not i invite you to explain. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2025 12:12 PM Author: Sable brunch skinny woman Endorsing a mechanism also isn't merely observing that the mechanism works. To remind you, we're talking about this comment of yours: http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5664532&forum_id=2#48557581
By contrast, you've been screeching throughout this whole thread that the congestion charge is "regressive", which is the most trivial observation imaginable. You should instead be explaining why poor people driving in NYC should be subsidized (if indeed you think that; difficult to tell since you just keep screeching about the mechanism being "regressive"). |
|
Date: January 16th, 2025 12:34 PM Author: Stirring flesh resort associate all public things are subsidized. that's what makes them public.
1) i think poor people have the right to use public things as much as anyone else
2) i am especially opposed to increasing taxes in areas where the tax burden is very high + taxes increased by governments that are especially wasteful
3) i am especially opposed to increasing taxes on a class of people with the scarcest resources
the idea that public resources should be used for the general public welfare is so fundamental that i didn't think it needed to be justified. i think history has shown that a "let them eat cake" stance doesn't work in the long term. these people aren't just going to go away. in fact they outbreed you.
and all the while you'll bitch about how you're being exploited by people richer than you. i've seen you seethe at boomers pulling the ladder up and doing NIMBY shit, but you're a hypocrite and doing the exact same thing. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2025 12:47 PM Author: Sable brunch skinny woman > i've seen you seethe at boomers pulling the ladder up and doing NIMBY shit, but you're a hypocrite and doing the exact same thing.
You've seen no such thing.
And the whole fucking point is that NYC streets aren't a public good in the economic sense (which is why overuse is leading to degredation) so a subsidy is leading to overconsumption.
I don't know what to say to your moral argument that proles should be permitting to drive around in circles on the busiest streets in the United States for free, degrading other uses. If that is what your moral compass tells you, all I can do is be thankful that NYC is governed by marginally wiser people. |
|
Date: January 16th, 2025 1:06 PM Author: Stirring flesh resort associate if people are misusing a public resource they should be stopped. of course actually regulating the use would be more invasive. you want to fix the problem the most expediently way regardless of how it effects people who may be using a resource responsibly. i disagree for the reasons i've stated. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5664532&forum_id=2...id.#48557903) |
|
Date: January 16th, 2025 1:20 PM Author: Sable brunch skinny woman You're simply wrong. And I didn't say any resource was being misused; I said it was being overused, which it clearly is.
Not everyone can use NYC streets. They're not big enough. Babbling about public resources won't change that they're not big enough and can't be made big enough.
Asking everyone to pay for their own use of a limited resource is fair and nondistortive. It permits the beneficiary of each trip to decide for himself whether the trip is worth $9, permitting the streets to be put to their highest and best use. This may be an expedient fix, but it is also the correct one. |

|
Date: January 16th, 2025 2:19 PM Author: Sable brunch skinny woman I don't think I've engaged in bad faith sophistry at all. As far as I can tell, your position is indeed that proles are entitled to clog the streets of Manhattan, to the detriment of everyone else, even if their reasons for doing so aren't worth nine measly bucks to the proles themselves. You also appear to be open to an extremely complex and uncertain bureaucratic process that would allocate Manhattan driving privileges based on your own sense of fairness.
I would note that the fact that your positions sound really fucking stupid when written out doesn't mean that your interlocutor is acting in bad faith. |

these same people will be irate in april when they have a realize their tax burden is 50% factoring in fed, state, local, miscellaneous use taxes, etc. and get mad at gc oligarchs who pay nothing. but they do exactly the same thing the gc oligarchs do: enthusiastically exploit anyone beneath them.
