Next year, congestion pricing is coming to New York City. And maybe, just maybe, the toll for motor vehicles entering the lower half of Manhattan should be set at $100....
I have seen some truly terrible takes elsewhere online from New Yorkers who think this is another poor people tax. This is the opposite of a poor people tax. I don’t know where that idea is coming from, but it sounds like a Fox News and New York Post talking point.
I also have a vested interest in furthering the socialist policies in the US. I would very much like to stay here since my life, my family, my friends, etc are all here. I just want this country to improve in ways I only see possible through socialism and moving from an individualist culture to a collectivist one.
My comment pertains to the USA, but regardless of where you live, there is a very strong likelihood that your local commercial stations are owned by a company like iHeartRadio and much, if not all, of the content is syndicated.
The only exception might be a local nonprofit radio station. You probably have at best one local station in this case, unless you live in a major city broadcast region. Keep in mind I mean one local station that plays music. A local NPR station is probably separate from this. Even most of NPR is syndicated, however.
If you’re lucky, a local college might still have a radio station broadcasting over FM, but so many have moved online since you then don’t need an [expensive and volatile] FCC license.
I don’t currently drive since I live in NYC, but I feel that unless the facility is rather cramped or has some other oddity that most people wouldn’t be accustomed to, I think valet parking is unnecessary. Usually it takes longer and incurs an extra fee in the form of a tip and I always feel a little uneasy about letting someone else drive my car. Last year I went to a KBBQ restaurant in Los Angeles that required valet parking. It was by no means a fancy restaurant and just had a slightly smaller parking lot. It felt so silly to have a valet park my friend’s car in a spot that any rather average driver could manage.

Americans who believe in Socialism, if you were given the opportunity to immigrate to a country with socialist policies, would you?

How do you feel about valet parking?
Valet parking seems to be getting more common at some city locations that don’t have a good parking situation....
Sometimes it do be like that. (lemmy.world)
