The Federal gov doesn't need to be involved at all.
The type of people that commute 1.5 hours each way are also the type of people to not realize their fuel bill each month is over $400, they're hard to help
no common sense
Montana by and for Montanans, California by and for Californians
Definitely

*Which* alternative is a fair question... And I don't have a ready answer yet.
The *"need"* for UBI or ***RAISING*** minimum wage (I didn't say abolishing it, *stop putting words in my mouth before you force me to drop an l-bomb*) disappears because all associated costs drop; Let's say bread is $2/loaf. That $2 represents all of the costs in getting it to the market, a significant part if which is fuel, for tractors, delivery trucks (at least 3), etc. If those vehicles used a fuel that is say $1/gallon v. the current average of $1.5Ø/gallon, that loaf of bread drops from $2/loaf to 5Ø¢/loaf (*or less*). Your car costs less to drive to the store to buy the bread.
We **DON'T** effectively have hydrogen vehicles yet... Tell me *any* car company that sells hydrogen cars in even the top 1Ø major cities.
@uncephalized
That's insane. Bare minimum, you can't dictate where people live, that's flatly illegal *AND* unethical. And your gas tax theiry was flatly rejected in France... It's why Le PEN is president now and MACRON is leaving in disgrace.
I don't think i said you said abolishing the min wage
So with macron ousted y'all think the yellows will be quelled
??
*"And how does using alternative fuels for automobiles* remove the need for minimum wage *or UBI?"*
ah i meant an increase but yea
either way
@TheCompanyMan
Not immediately, no, but they're getting what they wanted.
@Mandatory Carry where did I say anything about dictating where people can live?
And it was me that wants to abolish minimum wage, but only in conjunction with several other policies.
Me also
By the way there's tons of those Hydrogen toyotas where i live
aallssooo it sounds like uncephalized would aprove of gas taxes but not a blanket tax like france did
It's one of several options.
@uncephalized
*"(E)ncourage people to live near their extended families... A* much *easier way to accomplish the same goal is just to tax the fuel more heavily."*
@Just for youtube [NB1]
I'm sorry, ¿do you live in all (or any) of the top 1Ø major cities?
In the world?
or in the US or what
'Encourage' and 'dictate' are not the same word.
In the US first, world second because now your pissing me off by dodging.
LOL
I am talking about a cultural shift
Sure, i live in one of the largest city in the continent
north america that is
And yes I do believe that making fuel more expensive will reduce driving.
*"I'm not gonna fitate where you live, just punish you if you don't live where* **I** *say"* soare me the double-speak.
No, you really are misintepreting.
It's encouragement.
Spending money on fuel to live far from your work or family is not punishment
it's a decision made by the individual
Great, ¿you live in ALL TEN OF THEM?
I said spare me the double-speak, it means stop lying to my face.
they're choosing to spend more on fuel
Yes i live in all ten of them
Just read the wiki article i'm sure it says where they're sold
...
¿Seriously bro? ¿Seriously?
