highway to sell

Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.  -- Mac McCleary

I recently had an interesting discussion on twitter.  I offered an alternative solution to the problem of congestion on the 401 and it wasn't well-received.  My knowledge in the areas of urban planning and traffic engineering is very limited.  My knowledge of public goods, taxes and general microeconomics is a little better.  Although I am uncertain if highways can be considered a public good because it can be rivalrous at times!  Of course I had valid points and will readily share said points with you because I'm that passionate about it.

Fellow people of lower income, I got your back!  I now put the question to you, my friends, should there be a fee to use the 401?

cough suppressant

I was poor white trash, no glitter, no glamour, but I'm not ashamed of anything.
-Eminem

went to shoppers to buy some meds to help me out in my desperate time of need only to have a rude awakening in the drug store aisle.  cough suppressant is expensive.  i dont need to sleep or breathe that badly, pass.

what i really need is time, time to get better, time to think about life, time to be a kid for a little while longer...
