Congestion charging failed to improve travel speeds in NYC:

@cgranier @Math_files That counts double.

1. Because you had the idea.
2. Because you just gave me the idea of doing the same for other concepts.

Thank you!

[2thegreat @2thegreat166318]

@cgranier @Math_files What a phenomenal visualization. Did you make it?

@nicksortor @Uber Airport trip, almost missed my plane). Challenged Uber. First they said I violated their policy because I was not in the place from which I ordered the Uber. Sent a timed receipt from the coffee shop.

Then they said oh we meant the driver had a flat tire.

@frankelkins_HTW Thank you! I was very proud of it. I even snagged https://t.co/gFgAiXbZjS many years ago when I thought of this word. Soon it will be my substack.

@PingFu1999 @ZJLCA Congratulations. They make it too difficult, but I am glad it worked out for you.

[2thegreat @2thegreat166318]

@PingFu1999 Germany this summer was a disaster. 35 people ahead of me. 2 hour wait.

Rome last month was a breeze in and out. No wait at all. 30 seconds through.

@TheHauskarl Poverty is a choice that family is making right now. Here's what Gemini thinks they could have bought at standard UK prices. And here's what you could make with all that.

@thijsniks @webguy Grok thinks "The claim in the post appears to be a misremembering of the administrative transition away from onboard checks." Have a look.

[2thegreat @2thegreat166318]

@DuckfaceMcGinty @tc1415 And drivers too! Crazy!

[2thegreat @2thegreat166318]

@DuckfaceMcGinty @tc1415 That's my point. There is no correlation in either case.

[2thegreat @2thegreat166318]

@DuckfaceMcGinty @tc1415 Cyclists: cars are more dangerous therefore bicycles are safe and we don't need regulations.
Response: Heart disease kills more people than cars, so cars are safe and we don't need red lights.

@vivamjm Why compare UK with Germany and France? Question: Traditionally, has the UK followed more closely the economic growth of France and Germany or Slovakia and Poland?

[2thegreat @2thegreat166318]

@vivamjm In economics there are no guarantees. there are testable hypotheses.

The hypothesis Fox critiques is that the UK would have grown > 15.7% in the EU, while German and France grew 4.5% and 10.5% in the EU.

@The_Counterfact @LiamFox Well played!@

@UrbanCourtyard @GeringerAdam I have a dream of building a New England style walkable village on a 100 acre farm in Southern Massachusetts.

@unojen_wood Let's assume they all spend their money on goods made in America. What is the overall effect? You can discern it by increasing the input. Imagine 75% of the country is getting these benefits. So there is 25% as much stuff and 100% as much money to buy the stuff. What happens?

@3RenChengHu Folk-Keynesianism is the real vodoo economics.

@adampnathan And that route is when the stars align. There's an Acela 1/2 hour from now. In the afternoon the Acelas are 2 hours apart, while flights are rarely more than 15 minutes apart. So air wins by 1/2 hour up to 1 1/2 hours. That's a lot and it explains why the air route is popular.
