"The NY Times steals from blogger,"
Or... a blogger does a Google search for a name known to be connected to a high-profile case. A NY Times reporter, not surprisingly also researching the same name does the same Google search. Shockingly, Google leads them both to the very same page of existing info!
Which is true? I don't know, nor do any of us... and neither does anyone at Gawker or at Deceiver.
And the answer is D: Who gives a fuck?
one bullshit media source at another bullshit media source over something that doesn't matter; a pissing contest between two colostomy bags filled with apple juice.
Re Traffic:
I thought recent reports coming out of London are proving that congestion pricing hasn't brought any discernable benefit to the city after all. What's with this congestion pricing love affair? Why not just do something like an add a tax to car sales that specifically goes to mass transit? Isn't it the same thing?
#3, it really doesn't accomplish the same thing, given the secondhand market and ease of circumventing taxation that way. I've not read reports either way re: the benefits of congestion pricing, I'm just commenting on the alternative that your proposed.
