Americans shouldn't get any sort of subsidy or relief from high gas prices when the time comes. Driving ridiculously huge SUVs and avoiding public transit should be as painful as possible.

I agree that politically transit agencies need fares, but these other fare justifications are unpersuasive.
Reasons matter. The #waroncars is about gaining and using political power. We know the technocratic answers, anti-car advocates need to go further.
