general

up in the new englandish area

nice

but when I drive to PA or NY, I incur something like $40 in tolls each way

damn

u getting robbed

tolls are pretty bullshit

if u don’t wanna pay tolls take@a different route

DC tolls are ~$10, spread out over a few checkpoiints, PA is $15, and then NJ is $10

you can't avoid NY tolls Bio

the bridges

buy a boat

are the toll checkpoints

inb4 different route costs more in gas so it's not actually worth

yeah NY is gay af

San Fran is also terrible

or just don’t go to ny

entering the city is a $10 charge

why u in san fran, are u homosexual

thats a better idea

fuck that bopit

no

I

it screws over so many people

was talking

to bio

the

oh lol,

I thought you meant the city tax

"just don't go to NY"

oh fuck no

that's terrible lol

again, just get rid of government

get rid of 80% of the government

then no tolls

100%

rolling to establish minarchism as the lead political philosophy of phijkchu

/roll 1d20

@Bopit: 1d20 = (19) = 19

honestly, at the federal level it isn't even that bad state and local government overreach is what's really cancerous

so if u kill the toll booth workers, then u can use the roads

damn he's right

tollboth workers make $80k a year in Massachusetts

dude

that's actually money

Avoid tolls by flying instead

there's a lottery system to hand out the jobs Bopit

because everyone wants one

yeah I can imagine

sit there and do fuck all

Why are they not automated?

I mean

roll for job

I would blow my brains out

lol

I have a cousin, who got one of the slots and he had been trying every year for ~10 years

but that's easy money

since he graduated school

wow

Why are they paying that much for an easily automated job

New England has a long legacy of nepotism

automating jobs is a bad idea

and all government jobs are ways to ensure insular communities remain taken care of

just going to end up with more homeless people

I mean

I'd say more automation is better

it's all fake automation though

the problem is you need to create more jobs for those jobs it replaces

nothing new has really been automated in the last 20 years

sex robots

automated horny

Automated tolls either look at the indicator chip you put in your car or scan your plates

automated tolls are standard everywhere in the US

Automated driving apooky

and are pretty uniform

isn't here yet Leg

call me in 10 years

when it might be ready

rip uber drivers
