  1. I can just dream of how joyful it would be to have to pay a corporation to have driveway access off of their private road and how much that would cost or how their terms of service contracts would be.  Can only imagine all of the barricaded driveways due to missing a monthly payment.  Want your kids to be able to access the gated sidewalks to walk or ride their bike to school?  There's a daily usage fee for that. 

     

    You know a corporation would never buy up all of the roads around schools and go crazy with the congestion pricing fees to get to and from schools every morning. I mean they don't do that now with prescription medications or anything.

  2. This is a good read on the subject of Private Roads.

    Auto manufacturers would build pollution control equipment into cars, and advertise how cleanly they run.  Automakers do this already, but under the gun of a government that mandates pollution levels and what kind of pollution controls manufacturers use. Without government interference, engineers would be free to compete to provide different technologies to reduce costs and improve horsepower while providing cleaner burning engines.

     

    Glad Trump got rid of those emissions standards so the auto industry can start making progress again.

    Nobody with any sense makes that claim... the difference is, if you don't like how a business operates, you can choose not to do business with them. That choice does not exist with government. 

     

    And to turn your statement back to you:

     

    Gotta love this Pollyanna fantasy where governments work to the benefit of the people and not the politicians that accept bribes and funnel taxpayer money to themselves. 

     

    You don't have to live in the US or any other country that has public roads.  How is that choice any different than not doing business with a corporation?

    Dont we already have private prisons? Isnt that why we have the highest number of incarcerations in the world?

     

    Yes, but we also have some tolled roads as well. Of course in both of these cases they are heavily subsidized by government to reduce the risk and make them profitable.  I wonder why...

    @FrankWheeler Welcome to three posts above yours.

     

    Interesting, I did a search and his name didn't come up.  Also didn't see this posted with all of the ads surrounding it. 

     

    I apologize to everyone.  Mea Cupla!

    On a similar note, I can't be the only one that is getting huge spaces between posts now am I?

    As the Husker World Turns, Walters told Bell West coach he would be back in January to visit. Now we are sending a quality control guy. Don't think yesterday's press release is the last coaching move we will hear about

     

    Don't they make him stay on campus for all of the visitors?
