Best Comments to "SCAG Head Hasan Ikhrata Wants to Put a Black Box In Your Car and Track Your Every Move"
Great
job! It was that "must" that got to me also. You are doing the job that
I wish the LA Times would get around doing. Two articles that you may
want to take a closer look at: Antonovich and Metro's contract with BYD
for electric buses:

and one that includes a speech by Metro Board Chair Diane DuBois.

The
Tattler is on the story when the traditional sources are silent. What
has happened to the Tribune/Star News? There was a time when they were a
pretty decent investigative news agency and provided good coverage of
local issues - those days are long gone. I hear the Orange County
Register is looking at starting a paper in the Valley, much like they
have in Long Beach and now in the Inland Empire.
Keep up the
good work at the Tattler. Oh and why stop with a black box in our cars?
Why not just implant a microchip at birth and then they could tax us
based on all kinds of habits and patterns.
we really need to go with a pay per mile system. this will benefit moi - the super rich - in many ways.
first,
it will create a system under which the less will off, who are forced
to live in down market communities far from centers of culture, will be
foreced to pay more in taxes than the well off such as myself. We, of
course, choose to the opera, symphony and other places where people of
simlar socio - economic backgrounds gather.
second, it will
discourage the use of autos by those in the lower economic echelons.
this will leave the roads free for me to travel on workdays. more
importantly, i will be able to travel on weekends, covertible top down,
to the beach and other recreational places. The side effect is also
great - the common folk will not be there to disturb by peace as the
cost of such a drive will be ever present in their minds.
i
think this is a great idea that will provide welfare for the better
people. kind of like the diamond lanes for rich folks who can afford a
volt, rather than laying out the cash for a virtually identical cruz.
the only thing that would be better is if the government provided a
welfare check or tax credit to rich people who buy a volt. that would
be really cool.
Poor
people need to be shoved into public transportation. Only the rich can
be allowed to have cars. Taxing people per miles driven will help
accomplish that. The American dream is about to become that for most
people. A dream.
Since
this is such a "leftie" idea, let me think like a fat cat "righty"...
who will make this black box so I can buy their stock? Get me Dick
Cheney on the phone, he did pretty well with his two dirty little wars.
I love the smell of money!!!
For
California's bureaucratic elite getting all of those other people to
make the sacrifices is how to get "green" done. One rule for them,
another rule for everybody else.
A
true Soviet would understand that personal transportation is bourgeois
individualism. To become a true member of both the world community and
proletariat public transportation is the way to go. And as a former
planner for Metro Moscow, Ikhrata knows the way to go. The glorious
future is here!
Our
State's Nomeklatura has selected a right and proper Soviet trained
Apparatchik to help quell that pesky Middle Class Democratic Non
Conformity!The elites are becoming increasingly impatient with our lack
of respect and appreciation of their vision for our future!
