Sure, they can walk, or crawl in their cars at 15 MPH, like those without thousands of dollars to spare every year are now forced to do in Toronto...thanks to their ETR-407 toll road MONOPOLY.
Most of us just aren’t into that...and think we can do better, as we’re doing now, by the way - because we have ACCOUNTABILITY for our highways and government-run toll roads. Why the rush to lose that control, as happened in Canada, where they now pay 30 to 50 cents per mile to drive on roads that your ‘free market’ refuses to widen (when jacking up the tolls is much more profitable)?
I know, I know, if we do it ‘your way’, all will work out just fine. I still remember in college people saying the same about Communism - the Soviets, East Germans, Hungarians, Czechs, Albanians, Yugoslavians, Chinese, North Vietnamese, Cambodians, and North Koreans SIMPLY GOT IT WRONG. If we only did it the way these local Communists planned, we would live in utopia.
Same for these ‘free-market’ highways. I don’t even know of a SINGLE EXAMPLE where people have been happy with them...it’s all out there, you might want to research it a bit.
free market capitalism works
but you want socialism
for your interstates
