1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:03,079 Speaker 1: It's Night Side with Dan Ray. 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 2: On w b Z, Boston's news Radio. 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 3: Thanks very much, Dan Watkins, as we move into a 4 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 3: nine o'clock hour. The last couple of nights, we've talked 5 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 3: about greenleyand and I think we're going to get away 6 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 3: from that tonight. So I want to bring us back 7 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 3: to Massachusetts. So there's a couple of things we're going 8 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,319 Speaker 3: to talk about tonight and maybe something beyond this. 9 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. 10 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 3: Well, you guys decide that the governor delivered her State 11 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 3: of the State or the State of the Commonwealth address tonight. 12 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 3: It's the third time she delivered her first one and 13 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 3: she was elected in twenty twenty two, delivered one in 14 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four. Let's see you now, 15 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 3: so this should be the fourth then, if I'm not mistaken, Well, 16 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 3: maybe she waited for the year. Maybe maybe it was 17 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 3: twenty four to twenty five and twenty six. I guess 18 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,480 Speaker 3: that's that's what it would be. Maybe there's no maybe 19 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 3: they yeah, they generally they do their inauguration speech is 20 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 3: the first is the equival out of a state of 21 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 3: the car laws. 22 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: So that's what it is. 23 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty twenty four twenty five and twenty six or 24 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 3: third state of the state addressed tonight, and we will 25 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 3: talk a little bit about some of the things she 26 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 3: spoke of. 27 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 4: But there was there's a piece of legislation which has 28 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 4: caught my eye, and I think this is sort of 29 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 4: typical of Massachusetts, and I think it's what's wrong with 30 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 4: Massachusetts in my opinion. There is a and we've reached 31 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 4: out to the Senate sponsor of this bill today, my producer, 32 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 4: Marita reached out, so I was hoping to get him 33 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 4: to come on State Senator Julian Sear, who represents Cape 34 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 4: Cod and the Islands, without success. So this is this 35 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 4: piece of legislation called the Road to Opportunity Act, And 36 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 4: doesn't that sound great? And act to increase opportunity by 37 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 4: ending debt based driving restrictions. That's a sort of interesting 38 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 4: you for miss debt based driving restrictions. 39 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: What could we be talking about. Well, apparently. 40 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 3: The analysis that has recently been done suggests that there's 41 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 3: things that you and I are very very used to. 42 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 3: Tolls on the Massachusetts Turnpike, for example, we don't have 43 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 3: a choice. You get a transponder and then you have 44 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 3: to put the transponder on your credit card and whenever 45 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 3: you drive on the Massachusetts Turnpike, click click click money, money, money. 46 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 3: I've been around long enoughter we used to fight on 47 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 3: this issue to get rid of the toll takers. So 48 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 3: now we have automatic tolling and the government has has 49 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 3: paid for the turnpike, you know, many times over. And 50 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 3: remember the bonds of the turnpike were supposed to retired. 51 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 3: But like anything else that the government puts in place, 52 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 3: particularly when it comes to revenue for the government, it 53 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 3: never goes away. Then, of course, there are things that 54 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 3: people do which can be dumb. They park on a hydrant, 55 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 3: or they park it a crosswalk, or they park at a 56 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 3: meter and instead of putting the quarter in the meter, 57 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 3: they try to risk it and when they come out, 58 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 3: they got a ticket. So the suggestion is being made 59 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 3: by the American Civil Liberties Union along with our Democratic legislature, 60 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 3: that it's time to end debt based driving restrictions. Now 61 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 3: that doesn't mean from what I understand that and it 62 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 3: is time to end parking tickets, or that it's time 63 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 3: to end. 64 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: A toll tolls on the turnpike. 65 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 3: No, what they're saying is that debt based drivers license 66 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 3: suspension cost people their livelihoods. So you get a parking ticket, 67 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 3: you get a toll, You incur some tolls and you 68 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 3: don't pay them. It would be lovely not to have 69 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 3: to pay them, but in some form of fast you 70 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 3: have to pay them. 71 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: And what happens is the Redistry motor Vehicles eventually will 72 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: suspend your driver's license. I mean that's you incur these 73 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: costs because you're driving the roads in Massachusetts or you're 74 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: parking had hydrants in Massachusetts. So this a connection, causal 75 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: connection between the infraction. I'm not gonna say crime, because 76 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: there's not a crime, but the infraction. You have decided 77 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: that you're not going to pay your tolls. You're gonna 78 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: pay your parking tickets. So what happens is that now 79 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: the more bleeding heart groups here in Massachusetts say, well, 80 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people they need their their driver's 81 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: license to get to work. Guess what everyone needs, Well, 82 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: everyone who drives needs their driver's license to get to work. 83 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: And of course there is now a real push for 84 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: you and me. The government of Massachusetts wants us off 85 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: the roads. And the reason that they want us off 86 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: the roads is they want us to ride the tea. 87 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: They want us to drive a bike to work. We've 88 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: been through all of this. 89 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 3: You know, there is a war, I believe, a war 90 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 3: by government generally on the use of personal automobiles. They 91 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 3: don't want you getting in your car and driving twenty 92 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 3: miles to work, even though you might live I don't 93 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 3: know in Lexington and work in Shrewsbury, or you need 94 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 3: a car. There's no public transportation for you to get 95 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 3: from where you live to where you work. 96 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 1: But they're doing everything they can carpool, get together with 97 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: your neighbors and all that. However, there's an exception here. 98 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: If you have been a scoff law and you haven't 99 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: paid your tolls, you haven't paid your parking tickets. They 100 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: want to make sure that under no circumstances can you 101 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: lose your license, can your license be suspended? And the reason, 102 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: which makes sense, okay, is that suspending licenses harm people's 103 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: ability to drive to work. So you know, the one 104 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: end our government is telling us, you know, please take 105 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: the t take a bike to work, walk to work, whatever. 106 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: It'd be fun riding your bike to work on Monday 107 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: if this snowstone materializes, however, but with some folks who 108 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: do not pay or maybe in some cases actually can't 109 00:06:54,320 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: pay their fines or their penalties or their tolls. They 110 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: want to basically give them a waiver here. So it's 111 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: sort of interesting now the ACLU, which of course, in 112 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: my opinion, shouldn't be involved in these sorts of things 113 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: because I think that I don't think that driving an 114 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: automobile is a civil liberty. I mean, it's a privilege 115 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: that you were given, it's not a right. However, they 116 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: did a poll and they found that of a thousand 117 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: Massachusetts voters, seventy eight percents back the legislation and just 118 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: sixteen percent oppose it. High support for the legislation is bipartisan, 119 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: with virtual equal support from Democrats and Republicans who cares 120 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: of Republican support. If there aren't enough Republicans to make 121 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: a difference in Massachusetts, we aren't overwhelmingly or an independent 122 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: state because most people are independent or unenrolled. So my 123 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: question is according to the ACLU of Massachusetts, the Road 124 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: to Opportunities Act would end the Massachusetts practice of taking 125 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: away a driver's licenses a driver's license or licenses. 126 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 3: For reasons that have nothing to do with their unsafe driving, 127 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 3: such as unpaid parking tickets and toll fees, or failure 128 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 3: to update a mailing address. The gentleman who we wanted 129 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 3: to speak with Tonight's Senator Julian Sear of the Cape 130 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 3: in the Islands, said, this polling confirms what we've heard 131 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 3: from residents across the Commonwealth. People want a system that 132 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 3: prioritizes safety on our roads, not one that punishes poverty. 133 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 3: This doesn't punish poverty, in my opinion. This punishes people 134 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 3: who have been so reckless that they are unable to 135 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 3: pay the tolls that they have to have. Now I'm 136 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 3: not even sure if you can pay cash anymore. I 137 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 3: guess if you don't have a transponder, they take a 138 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,599 Speaker 3: picture of your license and then they probably send you 139 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 3: a lesson there which tells you you were on the 140 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 3: mass Turnpike. Some of you have maybe have had example 141 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 3: with this. The state representative who is sponsoring this legislation, 142 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 3: Representative Brandy Flucker Read, a Democrat of Boston, says debt 143 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 3: based license suspensions. 144 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: I don't see it's not a debt debt based license suspension. 145 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: It's a license suspension because the individual chose not to 146 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: prioritize their life and pay off the tolls that go 147 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: to work to get you to work, or the or 148 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,719 Speaker 1: the parking tickets. I mean, how many parking tickets can 149 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: you can you gather? Can you garner? How many tolls? 150 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: U can you drive through it? Not pay? I mean, look, everybody, 151 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: if you're working, you're getting you're getting some money. You 152 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: also need to use that money intelligently. I mean if 153 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: you're spending it on sports betting, which the Commonwealth would 154 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: love you to do as well, by the way, when 155 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: you should be paying your tolls and your parking tickets. 156 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: It's just what it shows to me. 157 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 3: And call me old fashioned, and that's fine if you want. 158 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 3: But what it shows to me is that this Commonwealth 159 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 3: generally does not value people like you who go to 160 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 3: work every day. They want to make it more difficult 161 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 3: for you. 162 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: To do your job. To get to your job. The 163 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: roads are horrible in Massachusetts compared to New Hampshire. We've 164 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: talked about that. They want to have you sitting on 165 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: the tee as opposed to sitting in your car. However, 166 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: if you're somebody who is financially challenged, they want to 167 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: come to your rescue. 168 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 3: They want to keep you on the roads. There's something 169 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 3: inconsistent about that in my mind. So, according to the representative, 170 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 3: Brandy Flucker read, debt based license suspensions punish people for 171 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 3: their financial circumstances, not their driving behavior. Let me tell you, 172 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 3: if you're running up parking tickets, parking violations, if you 173 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 3: are driving on the turnpike or on toll roads and 174 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 3: not paying the tolls, that's driving behavior. I gotta tell you, Representative, 175 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 3: access to a driver's license is critical for work, caregiving, 176 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 3: and daily life. 177 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: This bill keeps opportunity within reach for all and ensuring 178 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: that no one in Massachusetts is denied based on economic circumstances. 179 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: I got an idea Representative, and I want to hear 180 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: from some of you on this one. Let's eliminate tolls period. 181 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: Let's eliminate tolls for everybody, for the trucks that are 182 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: on the turnpike, for the people who are driving and 183 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 1: have been driving the turnpike now for fifty years maybe 184 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: and have been paying tolls for fifty years. I think 185 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: that's quite enough in my opinion. No, what happens is 186 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: the Democrats are always going to say, well, what can 187 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 1: we do, how can we how can we have a 188 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: cutout and we can help people so that we can 189 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: assure their votes. Now, I'm just going to open up 190 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: phone lines here on this one. I think this is 191 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 1: interesting because this is one that you're not going to 192 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 1: get any relief from paying tolls. You're not going to 193 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: get any relief from parking tickets. If you want to 194 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: challenge a parking ticket, you're going to have to take 195 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: a half a day off of work and go into court. 196 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: They don't want to make that simple because that's a 197 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: revenue stream. Six seven, two, five four ten thirty six 198 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: one seven nine three one ten thirty. By the way, 199 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: this Senate bill is also supported by probably some of 200 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: your state representatives or your state senators, but other members 201 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: of the General Court who have their names attached to 202 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: this bill and act to increase opportunity by ending debt 203 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: based driving restrictions. Joe Ane Comerford, David Paul Lynsky, he's 204 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 1: from Natick, Jason Lewis, and other members of the General Court. 205 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: So jump on board. I think it is time for 206 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: the average person, for you and for me who do 207 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: our job, go to work, don't sup at the public troth, 208 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 1: don't take from the general fisk. We contribute money, whether 209 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: it's through taxes or tolls, or fines or speeding tickets 210 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: or whatever else they can get us excise taxes, I mean, 211 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: excise taxes. Should should these folks also not have to 212 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: pay their excise taxes. I believe I saw something in 213 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 1: the legislation which suggested that because that wasn't they're saying that, Oh, 214 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: if you're caught running red lights, so you're speeding. Uh, 215 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: that's a driving practice. So therefore we won't forgive that 216 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: that debt, but we forgive a lot of other debts. 217 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: I just think it is tod and conquer here in Massachusetts. 218 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: It's always been that way. 219 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 3: Just treat us the same six one, seven, two, five, 220 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 3: four ten thirty six one seven, nine three one ten thirty. 221 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 3: Let's get it going right after this break. 222 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: You're on night Side with Dan Rays Radio.

I actually think that 228 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 2: it's uh, it's crazy. I can't stand when they when 229 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 2: the government does things like this, it's like we're just 230 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 2: paying for other people's bills, and it drives me crazy. 231 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 2: I forget the name for it's like retributive action or 232 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 2: retributive justice. 233 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, they have these names. Yeah, they They basically say, 234 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: we're going to redistribute wealth this way. If you're working, 235 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: living and you're a good person, and I think most 236 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: people are doing the right thing. And when you have 237 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: a bill, or you get a parking ticket, you pay it. 238 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: I get a parking ticket, and I'm terrified that I'm 239 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: going to lose my license. So well, not only do 240 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: I pay the parking ticket, but I keep a copy 241 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: of the check that I send and the parking ticket, 242 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: because I know that the government can always screw up. 243 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: They have a consistent ability to screw up, and I 244 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: know that at some point, you know, I fear I 245 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: should say that, at some point, I'll get that letter 246 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: in the mail. Your parking ticket from two thousand and 247 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: nineteen was not paid in time, hasn't been paid, and 248 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: we're about to suspend your license.

You know what I'm saying. 509 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 6: There was no registration because that expired, right, I didn't 510 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 6: even know. Actually that was fighting. No registration, no expression. 511 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 6: That to me is impounding the car if I get stopped. 512 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: Right, absolutely absolutely no. 513 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 6: But never gotten letter saying you owe fourteen dollars.
