You could say that about any social service. My house has never caught fire but the fire department can’t be just paid by the people who use it. It’s the social contract you enter by being a part of a community. Most people in nyc use a service, it should be taxpayer funded.

Taxes should just pay for it imo.

I wonder how many of his voters were “doing their own research” on vaccines? Funny how people suddenly were Rhodes scholars but now are electing total frauds into office without any thought.

Yeah, that cyclist blew a red light and slammed into her. Saying she hit him is straight up libelous.

5 minutes in a Walmart is a nightmare. You really want to spend the night?

Fine bad example. The FDA, building inspectors, EPA, food safety people who inspect restaurants, etc. This libertarian notion that people should all pay for services a la carte as they use them is a fantasy.
The trains in most cities are used by a minority of people, but in Manhattan it’s the vast majority.
