ParticipantThe money doesn’t have to be taken in a way that lets the filth in Sacramento or the in$urance companies where every vehicle is at every time. A consumables (fuel) tax works well enough now. A similar tax on another consumable (tires, vehicle batteries, whatever) would work just as well tomorrow.
Before we implement vehicle tracking, time to implement strong data protection laws. i.e.
(1) Data with no legitimate use must be deleted after x time
(2) Data must be deleted at customer request once billing is completed
(3) Sale or transfer of data is prohibited without explicit customer request
(3) Punishment is one lash on the arse with a rotan cane for each customer where the law is broken, given to any knowing party. To be administered by the customer themselves.ParticipantAlso, do your part. Flood them with amusing contact information for “interested parties”, and have them waste time/money contacting people.

ParticipantGeneral Welfare Clause. The Constitution wasn’t meant to limit government departments to exactly those that existed in late 1700s.
People who want to dismantle government are threatening the rights of Americans to clean air, water, food, etc. We need a Federal regulatory agency of some form. Pollution doesn’t stop at state lines.
For every example of overreach, there are 100 of the EPA addressing legitimate issues.
ParticipantSimple solution: tax tires, only allow use of tires with a California tax seal. Make the penalty for driving on worn tires extremely harsh, and also make them part of a smog inspection.
Tire wear is roughly proportional to miles driven and vehicle weight.
This would come with none of the snooping implications that an electronic tolling system has.
ParticipantSure, if you like the smell of burning rivers in the morning, and want to model your new neighborhood after Love Canal.
ParticipantHonestly:
(1) America deserves Trump
(2) The ecnhnamy tends to do worse under a GOP presidency
(3) “HP Meg” says that Trump’s policies are likely to cause a recessionSo, if you want to profit from lower home prices and moreclosures of the unemployed, vote TRUMP 2016. Foreclose on the world, then sell it short!
ParticipantElitism?
How about I don’t like an asshat who verbally pisses in the face of some people whom I love, and their familieS?
ParticipantBest scenario would be HRC dropping out either due to health or criminal charges, making it Sanders vs Clinton.
ParticipantSeinfeld set in Sandy Eggo. Haha.
ParticipantPersonally, I think:
1. Trump is still better than Cruz. At least we can sort of guess where a self-interested ass stands, as opposed to someone with delusions of having a private phone like to Glub and his only son Jeebus.
2. Hoping the rumors about Clinton’s health are true, and how. Or that she’s marched out of a debate in cuffs after being charged with official secrets violations.ParticipantDon’t be stuck in the 1970s (based on your housing preference). The world is moving on without you. The best things were not invented in the past.
As long as it’s a dry roof over your head in a convenient (for you) location, who gives a flying motherflip when it was built? Or whether it has gold plated fixtures or marble countertops.
Participant100k is middle class. In high cost areas of SD, LA, BayArea, I would even argue if that’s middle of middle class.
So? Let them move to the desert. Is someone entitled to live in SD/LA/SF just because they’re an ex-cop?
ParticipantGood. A lot of overpaid ex-cops who retired before 50 at $100k+/yr will have to eat rice and beans. Problem?
Guess they’ll find out how the other half lives.
ParticipantSometimes, things happen that aren’t in the interest of the filth running DC and Sacramento.
