This isn’t for chewing gum on the Subway. It’s for a specific kind of scofflaw activity that no society would tolerate were it not for the presumptive shield of goodness that surrounds drivers in this country.
Having grown up in the city and gone to a public school where over half of my peers had asthma from the heavy truck route next to our playground, I welcome any kind of financial realignment between drivers (especially commercial drivers) and their behavior.

- amanaplanacanal 1y agoIf you follow that train of thought to it's logical conclusion, government should have no power at all, since any government power could be used for bad.
- robertlagrant 1y agoCertainly constantly bashing down on increasing government power is the only thing that's ever defended against that.
