That basically means the state has been 48 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 2: running a road charge pilot program since twenty sixteen, but 49 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 2: it's really picking up steam now that you will be 50 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 2: charged a rate of two point five cents per mile 51 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 2: for light duty vehicles, which is basically what we drive. 52 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: So you will be charged per. 53 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 4: Mile for how many miles you drive by two point 54 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 4: five cents. 55 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: How would they ever determine that. 56 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 2: I don't know how they will determin I'm assuming they're 57 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 2: going to put like something make everyone have something in 58 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: their car or something like that. 59 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 4: The reasonster you have to put in your. 60 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 2: You have to register it maybe because maybe you know 61 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 2: with your insurance every year you have to say how 62 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 2: many miles you drive a month? 63 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 4: Nifteen thousand. 64 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: Well I don't think I work from I work zero, 65 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: drive zero. 66 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 4: Why so why is this happening? 67 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 3: Right? 68 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 4: And it sounds crazy? 69 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there's in a way that this is Do 70 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 2: you say that, There's no way, buddy boy, come two points? 71 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 4: So you say that, right. 72 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 2: The gas tax is set just over sixty one cents 73 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: per gallon, which is the highest in the country by 74 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 2: far and away. So you think, why are they bending 75 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: us over and screwed us? 76 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 4: Why California doing that to us? Okay, why are they 77 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 4: doing that to us? 78 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 2: Well, because that gas tax, they're not getting the revenue 79 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 2: they normally would get that because we're an electric car state. 80 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 2: We have so many electric cars. I have an electric vehicle. 81 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 2: Sky has a highbred electric plug in vehicle, so they're 82 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 2: starting to lose money that way, so they like they 83 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: got out smarted a little bit. But in the same 84 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 2: vein California wants to lead the way for carbon emissions, right, 85 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 2: and carbon you can't have this, can't have that, and 86 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: they don't even want gas cars anymore. So what's going 87 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: on is they're saying that by like twenty thirty one, 88 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 2: they want to have this gas, this, this mileage tax 89 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: on us, and then what does that come out to? Right, 90 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: So if you drive eleven eleven hundred miles a month, 91 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 2: that's only about thirty dollars a month, which is like 92 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 2: three and sixty dollars a year, So it's not crazy. 93 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 2: But let's be real, we know that's going to keep 94 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: going up and up and up and up and up. 95 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 2: The gas tax started at two cents a gallon in 96 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 2: the nineteen twenty three and now it's up to sixty 97 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 2: seven cents, So eventually this thing will go up. And 98 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 2: let's say they make it six cents a mile, that 99 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 2: will be eight hundred and fifty eight dollars a year. 100 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: It just keeps going up and up and up and up, 101 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 2: So they're trying to screw us five ways from Sunday. 102 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 2: And what's most annoying to me is that Donald Trump, 103 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 2: who's the President of the United States, pulled out of 104 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 2: the Paris Agreement. What's the Powers Agreement? It's about climate change. Right, 105 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 2: I'm getting deep and you'd have to be an absolute 106 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 2: moron not to see that climate change is real. Right, 107 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: Look what's going on. It's eighty five degrees today and 108 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 2: it's zero degrees on the East Coast. Clearly something's going on, right, yes, Right, 109 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 2: that being said, why does California have to lead the way? 110 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 2: They care so much about carbon emissions that it's gonna 111 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 2: be unlivable to live in California. 112 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: It's crazy. 113 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 2: It's gone over the top now and it's like California, Hey, 114 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: news flash, guys, news flash, We're not gonna be able 115 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 2: to change the world of our carbon emission stuff. You 116 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: know why, because China isn't doing anything and neither is India, 117 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 2: who are the first and third biggest carbon emissions on 118 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 2: the planet. So what's gonna happen is we're just gonna 119 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: keep getting screwed because they're not making enough money. And 120 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: then the prices are gonna keep going up and up 121 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 2: and up and up and up. And the next thing, 122 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 2: you know, I've said this before, they're gonna start charging 123 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 2: us to breathe. And you think I'm crazy. Oh no, 124 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 2: you make about you make about twenty thousand breaths a day. 125 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 2: What I guarantee they're gonna do a law in like 126 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 2: thirty years in California where they're gonna say hey, for 127 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 2: every every breath over fifteen thousand and two cents. I'm 128 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 2: telling you, I'm telling you're. 129 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 3: So. 130 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 2: Then what's what's the solution for? Because eventually you got 131 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 2: because people are gonna stop driving. That's what's gonna happen. Right, 132 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 2: We're gonna have e bikes. They're gonna make e bikes. 133 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 2: They're gonna have watch them put a little device on 134 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 2: e bikes and count your miles on your e bike. 135 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 2: Watch transportation prices go up because they got to make 136 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 2: their money. Because they don't they never want to cut pensions, no, God, 137 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 2: God forbid. They got to make their money. 138 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 4: So what's the solution. 139 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 2: Well, if you look at a state like Michigan, Michigan 140 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 2: allocated income tax and marijuana tax revenue to help with 141 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 2: the transportation stuff, po pothole stuff like that. 142 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 4: So why don't we do that? Why don't we charge 143 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 4: sky more for pom? 144 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 3: Why don't we do that? 145 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: Nice? Why are we getting nice? 146 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 4: Why are we getting so much money? It's just it's 147 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 4: it's insane. And then I started thinking, well, what's what's 148 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 4: what stuff? 149 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: Further, Okay, I looked at New York. What did New 150 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: York do? 151 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 4: New York had a budget shortfall, right, new York was 152 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 4: always down. Well, you know what New York did. 153 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: They legalize sports gambling, which was a smart thing to do. 154 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: So last year in New York made two point five 155 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 2: five billion dollars. One point three to two billion went 156 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 2: to taxes went to the government. Why aren't we doing 157 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 2: that in California? Why does this keep getting voted down? Why? 158 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 2: Why are we not opening up casino? They're gonna open 159 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 2: a casino next to where the Mets play. It's not 160 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 2: on it's not on Native American land. Why are we 161 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: not doing that? I don't understand, and I'm trying to 162 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 2: find out answers, and I can't understand why we're not 163 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 2: doing that. It was the parking meter issue will be solved. Uh, 164 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 2: the the the the gas, mileage tax thing will be solved. 165 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 2: I don't understand why we're not doing this, and it 166 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 2: frustrates me to no end. And I think, like I've 167 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 2: always said, and I'll say this again, protesting. We need 168 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 2: to We need to protest.
