NYC Installs Cameras… To Rob The Poor

[@TJ-um8ce]

Nancy Pelosi & fan Crenshaw outperform the market and charity CEOs make 6-figure salaries... our government is rotten all over, where do you think the money goes? 😂

[@ThePandafriend]

Because printing money leads to inflation (amongst other negative things). It's normal to have debts as a state, that's an economic mechanism, but debts which are too high will cause problems.

[@moonasha]

You can easily look at where your tax dollars are spent. For the federal government for example, around 63% of the ENTIRE budget goes towards social security and medicare/aid, then another 4% on the national debt's interest, so that's around 70% of the entire budget right there not really doing anything tangible. I imagine NYC wastes a good chunk of its budget on services for people who aren't even legally in the USA, go look into it if you're curious. Long story short, the retirement age is rising before 2030, screenshot this. Those of us in our 30s or 20s will probably never get to retire. The reason we can't just print money to fix everything is the aforementioned 4%. The more money printed, the more that percent goes up. It's "free" money, but not really, we still have to pay it.

On top of that, a lot of intersections downtown now have a leading pedestrian interval, maybe if pedestrians followed the rules they wouldn’t get themselves into trouble in most cases.

I'm out here to make money not spend it on your behalf. A good example is the extra fee that New York charges trucks just to travel on their roads. New Hampshire just did it too. We just raised the rates. Ultimately you folks are the ones that end up paying for it. Not the truck drivers, And this doesn't just count for New York either. Anytime the government whether local or federal makes a move to charge the trucks more. Or do something to cost the profit of the truck like speed limiters, or a higher fuel costs for example The truck driver isn't going to eat those costs. We pass it along.

The ordinary average citizen who isn't wealthy or who doesn't have a cozy connection to a protected industry (see the National Review article about the dairy industry piling on regulations on small independent dairy farmers in Oregon) is nothing more than human livestock living in a tax farm, from birth to death, feeding the growth of corrupt or reckless governments that are bent on taking more and more from the average person. IT'S NEVER GOING TO BE ENOUGH. They want MORE, MORE, MORE, even after you're dead. The only way to put a stop to this is to vote these clowns out of office. That means, however, that the average person is going to have to get more engaged in this struggle, despite the burdens they already carry.

In a 45 mph zone, the yellow light should last at least 4.3 seconds. Source: MethodShop
