“That a niche broadband option gets congestion normally wouldn’t be that big of a deal; the problem is Trump Republicans have hijacked and retooled the $42.5 billion infrastructure bill broadband grant program to throw billions of dollars — and millions of new customers — at Musk’s Starlink as a personal favor to one of the U.S. president’s biggest donors.”

Walked the perimeter of Manhattan. In the links: Congestion pricing, the gift that keeps on giving, remembering AOL IM, and Americans are socializing less.

I think the #LIRR strike was basically like undoing #CongestionPricing. My kids' bus has returned to taking 1.5 hours each way rather than 45-60mins.

Now that the strike is over, let's hope traffic returns to normal. It would be a great time to raise the congestion pricing toll to its originally planned level, though. #NYC #MTA #NYS

It's frustrating that NY Governor #KathyHochul hasn't bothered to raise the #CongestionPricing toll cost (which was much lower than initially intended) since its inception, despite being wildly successful by all measures.

At least Trump's doing his part though, adding congestion pricing tolls through the entire country (via gas price hikes). #AccidentallyTheEcoPresident

[edit: correction, make that the entire world.]
