Using a capitalist/economic solution to solve a resource scarcity problem?!? We can't have that (says the hard-line capitalists).
Congestion pricing works and should be the rule in every notable city. We need fewer card and car trips as part of the transformation of humanity's civilization to adapt to a limited world. The line cannot go up forever.
And he needs money! He just can't handle it so he needs more.

Fascist dictators don't have loyalty, soldier. That's a key element to them.
We also train young adults to gather evidence, use a skeptical process when presented with ideas, and have enough resources to speak up about problems in communities.
It's a trifecta of things conservatives hate.
Ah yes, yet another way to control and hurt women. The whole idea of medical care during birth is based on situations where you happen to need it. If things go well, they go well. Being at the hospital or having a midwife is about when things go off the rails. The vast majority of people want you and your child to survive childbirth, which is a dangerous and difficult process for many out there. Anyone who says "just don't have help you might need, it'll be fine" is either a liar or actively trying to harm you.
This is just another branch of "under the hood" religious nutjobiness like Tradwives which all boils down to active alt-right control over women.
You passed the one that matters: you're interested in having a democracy.
It's fine.
It's good to know how for an emergency, but really not required, especially if you choose to live in a location with more walkable neighborhoods and modern public transit (a rarity in the US, but doable).
About 30% of US homes don't even own a car.
Build the life YOU want to have, not what people tell you is normal or correct.
Ah, so the bribe money finally cleared.
Addendum: There's a new car coming out in the US. It's a 6 seater that's 5.8 meters long and is around 8000 lbs. Two of them are the same size as a normal city bus. TWO cars == a fucking BUS.
DO NOT DO WHAT THE US IS DOING.
Holy shit we're insane. Off our rocker goddamn insane.
According to one of our adjuncts: "Windows just works for dev, why are we teaching Linux at all?"
He didn't last.
Yeah, the US has reached an incredibly low standard of literacy for what is supposed to be a developed nation. The numbers on reading level are scary. Also look at how much people read as adults. We just don't learn how and then we don't practice during our lives. It's a nation of partial literacy being kept together my hyper nationalism and smart phones to distract us with 6 second videos.
