Buses, rapid transit projects, none of these things pay for themselves. So do they jack up the prices of a bus ticket, or charge more to ride on commuter trains?
Do they build new highways? Seldom... When they do, they spend way too much money on diamond lanes and way too little on expanding lanes we call can use.
We have far more cars on the roads today. They are getting a massive amount of funds. They just apply them to their little pipe dreams and to hell with the automotive public.
They demand we get better mileage. They demand we work toward reducing emissions. When we do, they shaft us anyway.
They come up with toll roads, elevated taxation, and do very little to make life better for us.
These idiotic micro-managers are in over their heads, and they don’t mind screwing us to make up for their incompetence.
Any special people movers that are not paying for themselves, should be taken out of service.
It’s not my job to subsidize the buses and rail transit, which I never use. They can sustain themselves, or go bye-bye.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol is virtually everywhere in Ohio and not just patrolling interstates and highways. You can drive through, say Penn., and see one or two state LEOs. In Ohio, the flying tire on the door and the angry blue light bars are waiting for you almost every 10 miles or so from the border right down to the cul-de-sac where you live.
