Disinformation Purveyor :verified_think: (thatguyoverthere@shitposter.club)'s status on Saturday, 20-May-2023 07:51:41 JST Disinformation Purveyor :verified_think: @amerika @bobdobberson it's oppressive that I have to continually renew the registration and pay an annual tax on the car while also paying a tax on the fuel in the car and a sales tax when I bought the car. Plates as a general concept seem ok though as long as they can't be taken away for arbitrary reasons like not paying said taxes. -

I tend to agree here. They took a good thing too far.
The yearly inspections do nothing either since lots of people still drive absolute wrecks.

The problem is there is no limit to the cool stuff we can do if we just promise to pay later. -

I consider taxes oppressive, but not all taxes are evil.
Taxes to maintain the roads, fight off enemies, go to space, maybe invent cool stuff like the internet, these I do not mind.

I have one of the last truck years not to have diesel additives and super strict exhaust requirements. -

Yeah, they love that one.
I think it makes sense to have number plates, but pollution checks need to be applied in some more systematic fashion since many people simply do not take their cars in for inspection.

Same thing with speed traps. I don't even speed, but cops hiding to try to catch someone going 7 mph over the speed limit are actual pieces of shit. -

The problem is that they stole it to do useless and destructive things with it.
It is really of no consequence. Democracy is a dead man walking.

It is just another tax.

They are ignoring the grim fact that what you can do that is best for the environment is to keep a car for 20+ years.
