In       fact, it is a parental responsibility. Notice how many people have SUVs?              BTW - the cabs pay congression pricing AND you have to pay the $2.75       Spite tax to the MTA.              My fishing pols won't even fit in a many NYC cabs. So if I come into       Penn Station and hop in a cab to go to Brooklyn, not only do I have to       pay the congresion pricing TAX, I have to first find one that can fit       the rods.              It is a TAX designed to prevent someone from traveling in NYC without       paying the MTA first, and it makes living here more miserable.                            https://nypost.com/2022/08/24/mta-offer-to-cabbies-squeezed-by-c       ngestion-pricing-adds-insult-to-injury/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
