I saw this on the news last night.

I'm curious what others think of this type of funding for our roads?
It looks like Oregon may be moving in this direction in the future.

Of the three tracking device options mentioned in the story, which would you be likely to use if a pay per mile system was established in Washington?
SF

Neither. If those are the choices, then pay the gas tax.

Fish on...

Gas tax is a pay-by-mile that penalizes those who drive less fuel efficient vehicles.

Yes, it is.

Which tend to be the vehicles that put the most wear and tear on the roadway.

This is just the states' attempt to get money out of those driving hybrids and electrics because they put wear on the road with very little fuel consumption thereby avoiding paying for road wear.

I don't want any f'ing device from any state agency EVER. I don't want those fucktards keeping tabs on me. This is a bullsh!t way to solve their perceived problem.

Got a phone, Dan? Computer, Dan?

they already track you

I can turn my phone off. My computer doesn't travel.

You don't see the difference?

Is it time when we can start shooting back yet?

I'm affraid it's getting closer.

What he said.

Not yet.

I'm thinking an implantable human chip that monitors breathing and assesses a tax rate based on air usage based on number of breaths.
The implications are amazing.

PS: Number of Breaths, not number of breasts in case Brewer is reading this.

PPS: Dan, you can turn the phone off but I think the tracking part still works unless you remove the sim, depending on the phone.

Tell me when.
