These types of deals need to be banned at the federal level, given that they are deals with foreign companies. I'd even have states be banned from entering into such deals with out-of-state companies.

Ugh.

The feds passed the legislation that “paved” the way for this.

I was amazed when I was out in L.A. a few years ago. People actually obey the HOV lanes out there. Here in Memphis everybody rides in the HOV lane (there is only about 8 miles of HOV lane here and that’s 4 miles going west and 4 miles going east) but it’s a joke here. It is paid for by our taxes so we feel free to drive in that lane at any time. I even jumped in the HOV lane out on “the 10” east of L.A. I couldn’t believe the horrible traffic there and there was an open lane (HOV) to the left of the standstill traffic in the other lanes. Those poor people were like sheep!
