It was antifa what did it, but then Trump pardoned Antifa

You really think that after 2000 years that would have survived? How long do you think papyrus lasts? And where would they have stored? The middle east is well known to be geopolitically stable

Not sure what you’d expect to find? 2000 year old court records from an outlying province? A long form birth certificate? His tax returns?

Can we also do excel formulas? I’ve done a few that made me want to call my wife and explain to her how lucky she is

Definitely +8, they have like a third of the world’s population.

The first to lose world be +8.25 they’re at the bottom of Western Australia. There’s roughly 12 people there unless Bruce is passing through. A fuck ton of emu war veterans though. From the side that won

You too?

Thank you

Honestly, that sounds amazing, it’s good to hear of an occasional win!

All that aside, did they do good a job?

Sorry, I was making an oblique reference to section 230 that says an internet publisher isn’t responsible for what users use their medium for. Even if it is is indecent.

It’s not the French government issuing the fine, it’s the Australian, where the company is hosted. They probably should have hosted themselves in the US and hid behind the first amendment

No that’s amazing, we should be all wearing those shirts. Just with an *explaining how they can help

Well yeah, but most of my driving is around the suburbs or the small country roads near my house, no complaints I guess, but i wouldn’t be paying my fair share of road use.

Plus to cover the full road network seems like a huge expense. I mean you could fund it using a carbon tax, but I feel like paying for tollboths is not good bang for buck in carbon abatement

Good point, I hadn’t thought of a car rego declaration. Servicing seems like not the best idea as it would make life harder for poor people, who might stretch out servicing and would probably do it more if there was an additional cost at that point.

I’m scared that continually tracking your car will be the default option though. Best argument against it is to argue that it would put victims of domestic violence at further risk

My biggest problem with that is the distance; either the licencing authority has access to our cars position or we self report it. Neither are great options in my opinion

How do you calculate the road toll?

Fuel excise makes sense, the more fuel you use the more you’ve probably driven, the more damage you’ve contributed to the road. How to make it fair for EV users with out invading individual privacy is harder. Like what should a commuter pay compared to a courier who would do far more kms and relies on the road for the business?

It’s going to be unpopular, but as a car lover, I’m happy to pay a carbon tax to keep driving gas guzzlers and have that reinvested into carbon neutrality, whether that’s EV subsidies or something else work a better carbon return
