how many people have been on the voice chat? i haevnt turned itr on ywet
Am i right here?
I have no idea what that conversation is about
Talking about tampon tax and it derailed into my point about condoms and horny teenagers.
"Uncontrollable libido?"
"No."
"Not my fault if you can't keep your dick in your pants"
"You have a left hand for a reason"
*then that happens*
I honestly don't care if tampons are free. On that note I would argue that razors should also be free if they are, though, since in order to be considered for jobs and things you often need to be clean shaven.
I think that saying men should be clean shaven and so on is actually pretty sexist. It's a minor issue, but we should deal with it really.
I don't have a beard myself, but I think men should be allowed to have one.
I support the idea of tampons and such being free.
I have facial hair
I'm not necessarily opposed to free.tampons
I tend to.shy away from the government involvement in providing things for free but I guess tampons and birth control wouldn't be the end of.the world
yeah, it's ridiculous that anyone thinks the MRM would be "against tampons" for any reason. just goes to show the gross misconceptions people have
Oh that's what that was about? Someone was saying we hate tampons ?
the strongest negative reaction to campaigns for free sanitary pads is usually a hatred of tampons yes
'Tampons are tools of the patriarchy! Women who have them are being raped! They should not be ashamed and let it flow free!'
oh
^ would not be surprised if that was an actual thing
I meant not a lot of old male politician don't understand menstrual cycles and think that sanitary pads are somehow not required
old male politicians can be embarassingly ignorant to how the female reproductive cycle works
its unfortunately ready fuel for the most extreme feminist messages
For instance here in PA the turnpike pays millions each quarter to pennDOT who then largely spends the money in Septa which is the local mass transit system
The problem is that they are raising the rates of tolls and using that money to pay to subsidise the cost of using the train or bus
I am against that. Force mass transit to compete with other forms of transportstion. If they can't make it cheap enough to sustain itself then it should go away.
I don't really understand the east coast very well
the entire concept of a toll road is alien to me
and the idea of a metropolitan area without a public transit system
or a public transit system that isn't profitable 😛
how can a public transit system be short on money?
Because people do not pay a cost sufficient to.sustain it
In the same way Uber subsidises rides and loses money each quarter, so does the mass transit system.
that is madness
Except, instead of losing money they take it from other places
Yes and it's especially frustrating for Uber drivers who have to pay a toll coming back after dropping someone off, which they don't get reimbursed for, which helps to lower the cost of a bus ride.
toll roads usually run parallel to regular highways, sort of like an "express" version.
like a 10 items or less lane
at least in florida
oh, thats less weird
There are non toll routes sure but they would take twice as long
we have a few bridges around here that have tolls, which is used to pay for the upkeep of said bridge
I don't kind paying a toll. I do mind the toll money going to pay for anything other than sustaining the toll road
