      wat if I told you this is a big problem with how highways are funded in USA, and that we gotta get away from the practice there as well https://twitter.com/NewParacelsus/status/959485630685224962 …

      "bill me later" is a very common wish here in USA, but I oppose it resolutely--pay at point of sale!

      no, that's what *tolls* are--the gasoline tax isn't connected to this or that road, and isn't the only thing paying for roads either

      this report lumps tolls and gas taxes together as user fees--I quibble but I'll let it slide--to demonstrate that they still only cover about a third of transportation costs:https://taxfoundation.org/gasoline-taxes-and-tolls-pay-only-third-state-local-road-spending/ …

      slippery slope here, you can make that argument for everything that facilitates commerce, but for some reason it's only roads that we expect to be able to use for free (why not food? or housing?) problem is it creates strong incentives to live uneconomically, so costs spiral up

          ...which is a factor in why the gas tax isn't cutting it anymore. Anyway: it's obviously impractical to slap toll gates on every road, but it's common sense to have them on limited-access highways like the interstates. With other roads, aim to keep funding as local as u can

          by that logic the gas tax destroys freedom of movement. Movement isn't free, and not all movement costs the same, which is why it must be paid for, and why payments should be proportionate to use

          moreover, we both know that infrastructure IS for-profit, just for the profit of more than the owner/operator of the infrastructure...but this is the case for any solvent business; if it makes money it's probably useful for the customers as well as the provider
