    haha this has happened a lot. i had someone with the hammer and sickle tell me mayo's pete's mileage tax was good actually and just refused to acknowledge the impact something like that would have on the working class and rural communities who are likely already struggling just last week. it was absurd

      There are some serious Econo-Nerd arguments that boil down to "mileage taxes make more accounting sense than gas taxes". And if you're living in a world where you just get to play Sim City plus lots of Excel spreadsheets, it can work. But Mayo Pete isn't King of Everything, he's just the poor sap who got handed one of the shittiest jobs in Washington.
