Cars are the most heavily subsidised product on earth

When we talk about subsidies, we usually think of a check written by the government to a farmer or a tax credit for buying an electric vehicle. But if we widen our lens and look at the true cost of…

Inspired by this @genehack post (https://dementedandsadbut.social/@genehack/116732102001729179), here's a question: have any academics actually done the math on what the tax/fee burden would be if we stopped trying to fund road maintenance with fuel taxes, and instead did all of:

1. Charge road maintenance fees based entirely on weight × miles driven. Get rid of "commercial vehicle" carve-outs.
2. Tax fuels solely based on environmental costs (pollution in terms of PM2.5, PM10, smog, acid rain, diesel complications, cost of remediation, etc).
3. Tax tires based on their pollution costs (microplastics, heavy metals, disposal, etc).

I think if you stop trying to pay for roads with fuel taxes and simply tax fuels on consumption, you can get rid of "off road diesel" since usage would just be usage across the board. Similarly, if you tax tires and charge disposal fees for materials that can't be reclaimed, you provide incentives for people to manufacture and buy tires that pollute less.

(Also, this veers into #WarOnCars territory, but there should be congestion pricing anywhere air quality is an issue and not just Manhattan. So, DC and LA of course, but also, say, Salt Lake City, where shit like that is totally necessary and would never fly).

Needed to get a larger load of plexiglass home.

Car not required.

Getting to use a trailer that I built has been so much fun!

Pike Place Barricade

Yes, haha, yes!! The Pike Place car ban makes for a much nicer pedestrian experience walking from the shops across the street into the main market.

#WarOnCars I’m like 1hr30min into your May 19 podcast episode (Taking the Transportation Fight to Congress…) and still *no mention* of the pentagon? If we’re funding bombs, shields, surveillance to the tune of a TRILLION dollars/year, there is not enough to invest in our transportation infrastructure.
