@shadownetworks The way I look at it, a car is an unnecessary luxury. Some people really like them. I would rather put the money into paying off debt.

@joe a car is a necessity, for employment, for many.

@shadownetworks If you live in a city with functional public transportation, it isn't. Anyways, with the $1.7 billion investment that #Milwaukee is making into 3.5 miles of i94, I would expect at least a 5% return, right?

@joe you mean the mismanaged MCTS that had two heads retire for mismanagement? Yeah, we don’t have a good enough public transit structure… and that investment? IS FOR CARS.

@shadownetworks Folks keep complaining about how USPS and Amrak aren't "making a profit" and need to be shut down. Nobody would be crazy enough to say that a failing auto industry should get a $1.7 billion bailout if all three are infrastructure, right? Just take the profits from i94 and plow them into MCTS?

@joe also I94 and roadways provide commerce pathways. To shift money from much needed expansion of federal interstate, into non-commerce transportation wouldn’t fix the underlying issue.
