  1. It should be illegal to put two toll booths on one road a mile apart from each other http://rainbowdash.net/url/876176

    • @scribus It’s those goddamn Australians, I tell ya hwat, they bought the road and put seven million toll booths on it. These are some of the cheaper ones. There’s a variable-rate booth coming out of DC, right near where I went to community college, that has charged me anywhere from just a dollar to $10 depending on the time and day.

    • @zeldatra ffffuuuuuuuu hhhoowwww do they a) justify, and b) expect people to pay that N-times per day!?! Ours are just toll lanes, which can go up to 15.85+ afaik for maybe 1/3 or 1/5 of the entire trip

    • @scribus I’ve never been a single issue voter but I got real close in 2021 when a Republican (“independent” but only because the word “Republican” is a four-letter word in my district) candidate for local office promised to introduce legislation regulating the amount and cost of toll booths on the greenway, if the rest of his platform wasn’t so cartoonishly evil I might’ve been willing to cross over just for that.
