I agree, I find all of these things quite nice.
The construction of roads and rail lines though is enormously overpriced though. It's not like they'd just disappear if we stopped paying taxes.
Instead why not just pay for them directly and get _a lot_ more of them? What if your AAA membership built the actual roads you're driving on and you could buy an unlimited pass, or a pass based on your actual mileage or something like that?
- munk-a 4y agoDoes your vision involve a single large government mandated corporation (i.e. like a crown corporation up here in Canada) or by individual private companies?
- Sohcahtoa82 4y agoIt doesn't take much of an imagination to see how poorly such a world would end up. We don't need parallel highways built just so corporations can compete on who has the best roads. And I'm imagining a scenario where one company sells their road network to another, and the new one decides they hate SUVs and so won't allow SUVs on their network, and suddenly my neighbor can't leave the neighborhood because he drives an SUV for work. Not to mention the extreme number of tolls booths you might have to set up.
