We can't sustain public transport like busses without user fees? Okay, then how can we maintain all these roads without charging user fees to the people using them? We're going to have to shut some of these roads down and stop building new ones until we can collect enough tolls to pay for them.
Why are they still calling this the Iran war when Israel is bombing everyone and has been for years now?

If you think liberals invented calling the US fascist I have to laugh & wonder why you havenโt been listening to the most prominent Black leftists of the 20th century. They can co-opt & appropriate but thatโs not how you win the game weโre all in together.
