... why? What are you basing this on legally/morally other than your own want?
- qybaz 5y agoYou could ask yourself the same question about all the public infrastructure that exists. I mean why even have roads, legally or morally??
- lolsal 5y agoRoads serve the public interest and have been legislated into existence at the federal level[1]. Your turn. [1] - https://history.house.gov/Records-and-Research/Listing/lfp_008/ https://history.house.gov/Records-and-Research/Listing/lfp_0...
- qybaz 5y agoWere roads legislated before they existed? Did they serve the public interest (as in, did everybody benefit from them) when they were starting to get built? That's precisely what will happen with what I proposed.
- lolsal 5y agoI imagine getting your representatives to author and pass legislation for this (which will include raising money to pay for it) will be met with more opposition than you think. I think this because I don't think it serves the public interest :)
