Links? Just read the Wiki article on congestion pricing, [as I just did], and follow the links at the bottom of the page as appropriate. As somebody is fond of saying, "consider it homework, then get back to me". :rolleyes:

The ever growing reliance on television, and especially video, is making it harder to know anything - the 'news' is so quickly fed to us, we haven't time to absorb, much less question what we hear. I need to read it to do that. And I still read Fox - if only for a preview of the rubbish that...

With all due respect, that's hogwash. The congestion pricing is not always an increase in tolls, [in some places/times it's a decrease for travelling during off peak times], and it is having a positive effect, according to actual measurements. One interesting note: many truck drivers reported...

My skepticism is really more about Fox News' shouting sensationalist headlines that don't quite match up to the actual facts presented in the article. [Current favorite is "Busty teen forbidden prom!" except that the young lady went to the prom, actually]. :rolleyes: It gets tiresome, reading...

I know that pilots need to know where there boundaries are, but the problem they have is the same one I have when the sign says "All trucks use right lane": I wouldn't have a problem, if they would quit moving the boundaries, sigh. [As in making the right lane, or 2 right lanes, exit only. Or...

No federal privacy laws that prevent school officials from publicly discussing a disciplinary case? I find that hard to believe too, as the law kept me from discussing any patients when I was a nurse, and the legal & law enforcement fields are tightly bound by privacy laws too - seems education...

I once had the opposite parking experience at Wallyworld: parked in the middle of dozens of RVs, woke up late in the middle of nobody, but the painted lines made it look like I must have been a wee bit tipsy when parking, lol. Note to Boss: be careful when shaking hands & kissing babies -...

Principal Darrel Prioleau did not respond to calls and emails seeking comment. Robin Welsh, the deputy superintendent of Calvert County Schools, said federal privacy rules prohibited her from commenting on a specific case, but she said students are not suspended without cause. "There has to...

I won't say that I automatically disbelieve whatever Fox says, but I will say I always look for further sources, lol. In this case, I found zip.

If I'm not mistaken, Chicago tolls are already priced higher during periods of congestion, and lower overnight. [Which is when I'd prefer to drive through regardless of the cost.] The fly in the 'NE regional' surcharge scheme: serious congestion is more than just NYC. It's a problem in many...

I'm having a tough time accepting that this incident is factual, as it supposedly happened 6 months ago, and is unsubstantiated by anyone other than the man who says it happened. The school officials aren't allowed to comment, citing privacy laws, but one did say that a suspension requires a...

The real problem is: why do the LEOs feel obligated to find something wrong on inspections? I told the last one that he wouldn't find anything wrong, and he said "If I don't, my boss thinks I'm not doing my job". Excuse me?! So he found something: one stick on reflector that had come unstuck &...

I agree, OVM, but in this case, I don't think it was the shipper's fault. It certainly wasn't the shipper who 'bumped' the delivery forward a couple hours, which is why I had to deal with rush hour again after getting loaded. Had someone not changed the delivery time, I'd have sat tight until...

Women get preferential treatment in court ordered custody cases because women are generally more likely to be a caregiver than a breadwinner in the family structure. That doesn't mean they are 'more' important to the welfare of the kids, though. Kids grow up best with as much parental...

Moose, how can you not support charging shippers [and consignees] for detention, when 99% of the time, the detention is their fault? As when they schedule trucks to pick up loads that won't be ready for hours, or they haven't enough docks/forklifts/personnel to load or unload in a timely...

I can't agree that "having religion and government be mutually exclusive is retarded" - it's the only reasonable way to deal with the many forms of religion practiced. And with those who practice none at all, without violating any one citizen's rights. The establishment of a state religion is...

Maybe your wife would be better off without you, but what about your kids? How will it affect them to have their father gone for so much of their lives, missing important [to them] school occasions, milestones, birthdays, etc? Expediting is not a good choice for parents of minor children.

'Preciate it, John. The less we need to call dispatch, the happier we all are. And the more efficiently we all work, lol.

Workflow isn't including zip codes on addresses anymore? Sometimes, they're needed to find the correct place. Also, can they find a way to get the entire name on , even when it's long? Sometimes, the part that's cut off is kind of important...

Irony: people who distrust and generally disparage the government insist that civilian veterans ought to be given special consideration regarding firearms because they [vets] were trained by the government.
